I e-mailed Christina several times and received one reply suggesting I look over the site to see if it was right for me. Each time I explained that I was taking a class at Iowa State with Dr. Niki Davis and would like to participate as part of the class, but did not receive the information. Although this did not keep me from reading the discussions, it was an example of problems encountered. The website was time consuming to learn how to do, but I am now a step closer to my goal of developing one. I am looking forward to refining it into a portfolio that can be continued and used in future scholastic endeavors.
Leadership is an important quality to possess regardless of the position one holds in a school.
A teacher can be as much of, if not more, a change agent than the administration. The teacher is in the classroom implementing the changes determining their success or failure. The more examples I can provide for the teachers, the more options they have to choose from without taking much time out of their own day. The WebQuests and identification of quality websites save practicing teachers a lot of time.
