PURPOSE
The purpose of this series of workshop activities is to support school leaders in meeting Technology Standard III: Technology Integration to Enhance Teaching and Learning.  The particular focus of our effort will be on the effective use of information and communication technologies, especially the Internet, since these are the technologies that increasingly define our students' literacy and learning future.

Specifically, we seek to implement standard III. A: 
"Learning and Teaching – Educational leaders ensure that curricular design, instructional strategies, and learning environments integrate appropriate technologies to maximize learning and teaching."
