The most common job title in education with regard to
technology is that of Technology Coordinator. Technology Coordinators are educators at
the school or district level who work to facilitate effective use of a wide
range of computer-related information technologies in instruction.
A Technology Coordinator's duties fall
into four main categories: Technology Administrator, Staff Development Specialist
and Trainer, Curriculum Coordinator and Integrator,
and Technical and Network Specialist. Some schools and districts ask one person to meet
all of these needs while others may spread the work load out among more people, usually
along the divisions mentioned.
Communication skills
are vital
for success in this role. A Technology Coordinator needs to involve local businesses and
community, school board, administrators, parents, students, and teachers in planning,
evaluation, and implementation of the technology program. The formation of special interest
committees and support groups, newsletters,
webpages, workshops, public demonstrations, phone calls, e-mails and in-person meetings
will be the foundation of
the technology plan's success.
