Olivia and Ann’s Response to Nina and Jennifer Digital Divide
1. Thoughtfulness of force leveraging change in system? • The following are key point we identified from Digital Divide presentation • Force: Technology • System: Education • Presentation demonstrated issues associated with technology: • ethics, multicultural influence, rapidly expanding, advertising and profits, social networks, decreasing size for increased capacity and negative influences such as safety, spam
2. Effectiveness of Analysis • Your analysis demonstrated: • Barriers to use of technology in education: budget, resistance from educators and administrative delays • Leader options: do nothing, move towards change, rally troops, model, utilize system thinking, teacher role evolving to model behavior, willingness to try new modes of technology
Effectiveness Continued • Situation: funding, training needs, technology accelerating quickly • Followers: Students as teachers, students encouraged to determine what technology is valuable for their learning needs, teachers need training • Themes: funding, training, administrative barriers • Author’s Recommendations: Be open minded
Viability of Analysis • Your options indicate you have studied the situation, identified what is needed, but have not articulated specific actions that the leader can take. • You identify that a change would mean a change in your role as a teacher and a change in the role of your student. • You identify a new role as a coach and mentor for you students.
4. Differences or Similarities • Teachers, like nurses, are being impacted by technology. • We both looking at technology in the same way but approaches to the situation might be different. • Nursing taking an active role in legislation and gaining support from unions, going beyond walls of institutions.
Questions • How can educational leaders promote new mental models for leaders and followers? • What options exist for educational leaders to influence available funding? • Who are other stakeholders that may be invited to sit at the table? • How can leaders get administrative buy in for training and new technology?
Questions • Is there a teachers union or other group/affiliation that can support your efforts? • If so, what part are they playing in reshaping this situation? • How are you rallying the troops such as other teachers, parents, and students?
Final Thoughts You’ve articulated the issues regarding the situation well. We understand the challenges. What actions will you take in LEADING the change?
