16.1 Candidates will be able to create a literature review of a specific topic related to educational technology.
In AD 776, my partner Ali and I, completed a literature review on the topic of educational leadership. In the review we analyzed several research articles specifically on the topic of leadership style and its impact. In our readings we examined the several styles of leadership and how that can effect school climate, staff morale, and student achievement. Although this research wasn't explicitly on educational technology, leadership style has a profound effect on technology integration. As noted by Ely's Eight Conditions of Technological Change, administrative support is a condition that must be met. Leadership style can undoubtedly help or hinder the positive impact of technology integration in schools.
16.2 Candidates will be able to apply the results of research about educational technology to practice and correctly cite sources in APA style.
The above paper on leadership style demonstrates my ability to cite various sources correctly using APA style. Please see the final pages to review.
