The Big Issues for ICT Leaders

QuestionsIn the series called 31 Days to Become a Better Ed Tech Leader, I covered a range of issues that I believe are key ones for Ed Tech/ICT Leaders.

But what do you think?

I've created a very short survey which seeks to determine the three most important issues as far as ICT leaders are concerned.

Please take a few moments to complete it. You will find it here:

1. Leadership in some small schools, especially in rural areas. In my experience teachers are wearing so many hats that keeping on top of ICT can be very difficult. I think small schools should have a cluster coordinator but usual response to my idea is there is not enough money.
2. Training - needs to be regular, relevant, drip-drip, and most of all, followed up.
3. Hardware and broadband speed need to be up to the job.

Thx, Nigel
1. I agree. It seems to be especially the case for primary schools, where the ICT Co-ordinator is quite likely to be the Numeracy Co-ordinator, Child Protection Officer and Head of Year 3!
2. Yes, so perhaps one day courses are no longer relevant?
3. Definitely, especially as expectations are so much higher now.
