My vision and projection is that Google’s web-based tools improve collaboration and communication among administrators, teachers, support staff, parents and community stake-holders to enhance student achievement, improve parental and community support, as well as develop life-long learners that are able to effectively contribute to their communities and society.

Which Google tools you are most likely to implement, and why?

The Google tools that I am most likely to implement are Google Calendars, Google Forms and Spreadsheets. I will implement Google Calendars because it provides collective access to events within our school and community.  I will implement Google forms and spreadsheets because it is an uncomplicated and effective means to collect and disaggregate date.

The lessons that I have learned from reviewing how other administrators and schools are using Google Calendar, Docs, and Blogger are: 

Through reviewing other administrators and school communities uses Google Tools I have learned that Google Calendars are able to be overlapped and be viewed by many people simultaneously or at individuals’ discretions.  I have learned that Google Docs are very effective in limiting duplications of documents that can often times become more confusing and redundant than effective.  I have learned that administrators have to be conscience of their tones and professional when using Blogger to convey information on World Wide Web.  I also learned that as an administrator I have to led Blogging communication by example.

My vision is align with the “Visionary Leadership” standard as put forth in ISTE’s National Educational Technology Standards for Administrators as so:
