“We prepare students for the complex world they will inherit,” McGee says. “We want our students to be well-versed and confident that they can tackle that, and this is something we highlight when we talk to parents about technology.”

Is there any other department in the school that has a wider responsibility set, scope, reach, and influence than the technology department?

I'm presenting on this topic Monday afternoon!

What other position on the contemporary independent school has the vertical and horizontal scope and point of view than the individual at the helm of the school's technology "everything?" 3/3

Denise speaks powerful truths: "It’s time for schools to recognize that there are high-potential leaders in your institutions now who have the necessary skills, adaptability, and whole-school mindset to successfully step into the head of school role.” 1/3

It helps to put new technology into perspective by comparing it to things we already use; bonus points if the tech is as ubiquitous as the camera! #technology #edtech https://t.co/Dj40L1OEqV

It's crucial to align the technology team with the school's overall mission - not only for the success of the team, but for the success of the school. #independentschools #technology #edtech https://t.co/T9Dqr2bDaI

Ignore such technologies at your students’ peril! Shunning new tools only makes it difficult for students to inherit a complex world. https://t.co/4K2V9ZDdjw

@ajpodchaski @TG_Neil Yep, the fragmentation is quite a barrier, unfortunately. #edtechchat

A very interesting (and local to me!) case where educational technology intersects with constitutional law. #edtech

Scanning student rooms during remote tests is unconstitutional, judge rules - https://t.co/d9Q1MHU4Ds https://t.co/cl8M32lSGB

Today, on vacation and out of the blue, my almost three year old said “dad, I’m proud of how hard you work at school!” #work #edtech
