A visionary leader is an individual who recognizes the technology available to us in the 21st century and is dedicated to its implementation within the schools. She is committed to educating her staff and supporting them as they continue to learn how to make the most use out of the tehcnology that is available to them, i.e., mobile labs, computer labs, smart boards, etc. She is also very focused on making such technology available to as many of her staff as possible, by all means necessary. A visionary leader is involved, to this extent, with contacting possible sponsors and financial supporters when it comes to outfitting her school with the "latest and greatest" in technology because she truly understand the benefits it offers to her students.
In addition to making these avenues of technology available to both her staff and students, a viasionary leader is determined to master use of the technology as well, so that she is fully equipped with the knowledge she is such a strong advocate for. She is aware of how the use of technology will improve student achievement.
Great points...the visionary leader not only models technology but also advocates for the resources to provide the technology tools needed.
