Welcome to my Wiki space. I am currently a doctoral student at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. This page was developed as a result of my enrollment in a technology course for school administrators. My professor's first questions in class were (what did we feel was technology leadership and what did we expect to take away from our class experience). My response was that up until about three years ago I thought I was pretty technologically savvy. But I quickly realized that my knowledge of powerpoints, spreadsheets and internet had fallen into the arcaic stages of technology. I hope to walk away from this class with skills that I can get excited about and share with teachers and fellow administrators so they can share those same skills with students and students can share with their families. I hope to start an epidemic of excitement about using technology to enhance, and enrich education.

The purpose of this Wiki is for admistrators and instuctors to discuss what characteritics new teacher should posses in order to be considered for teaching positions. With the tough economy, teaching is no longer the "safe career" choice. Eduation has become a tough competetive field as many other careers have in the past. Now principals have to be sure they employ the best of the best to eduate students in the 21st Century. Teachers have to be able to do more than delivery instruction based on teaching guides and textbook. They must be innovative and creative. So what are prinicpal looking for in new teachers?
