Technology Coordinator Concept Map
Assignment Summary:
For this assignment, I was asked to create a map of duties pertaining to a Technology Coordinator before and then after my research findings. As an educator for sixteen years, I have experienced and received technology support through many different departments: the Registrar/Counselor, Media Specialist, Business Ed. Teacher, Technology teacher, and Administration. However, for the past five years my school system has designated each school with a part-time IT support specialist. Throughout my first-hand experience of technology integration in education, I have easily ascertained that a Technology Coordinator’s job description is extremely vast. In conclusion, I have discovered that a Technology Coordinator for a school system would oversee many duties such as: IT support (staff), Network, Staff Development, Software, Hardware, Budget, Maintenance, not to mention being dependent upon Superintendent approvals, Board Members approvals, and even community votes on (ELOST) Education Local Option Sales Tax approvals.
