What are you planning? Why are you planning it?What is your vision? How did you arrive at this
vision?When do you propose to introduce this initiative

Leadership & Planning

ie
• Training and development– Can assist transition and allay fears– Those reluctant to adopt and/or unwilling to engage may not
have appropriate skill– Appropriate and relevant training will improve efficiency and
morale– Job enlargement vs. compensation for increased workload?
• Communication and consultation– Need to convince all stakeholders concerned in order to
minimise negativity– Ask questions, set specific target times, ensure close
communication to address contentious issues– Regular reviews

ie• Changing management style
– May require more openness and inclusivity– Creating a dynamic environment which requires flexibility– May require you to adopt role of a facilitator, co-ordinator,
mentor.– Facilitative approach may require set objectives, training,
communication and appraisal• Empowerment
– Stepping back and allowing staff make the decisions?– Quality circles, focus groups where staff meet to discuss ways to
improve/enhance• Teamwork and collaboration
– Create teams with distributed leadership e.g. to address the aspects of this presentation.
• Quality focused outcomes– These must focus on the student outcomes whereby the change
has facilitated an enhanced educational and environmental outcome for the learners (students, staff, parents).

The point is the technology shouldn’t be the point!Is it a leadership and/or management role? Is it a process of change or a culture shift? It can be
affirmation of good practice.That fact that ‘I can’ doesn’t mean that everybody
else can or the fact that you can’t doesn’t mean everybody else can (feelings of inadequacy?)
It may be as a result of something that arrives on your desk e.g. a social media policy for staff, AUP, internet use, mobile policy.
So what’s our point?

Find enablers, adopters, leaders, detractors.Low effort high impact vs. high effort less impactEnhancing the T&L experienceIs it a distraction or a waste of time/effort? Is it
purposeful, meaningful and facilitating deeper and lasting understanding?
How savvy are the staff and students using ICT? Are we making assumptions - putting the cart before the horse?
