A 21st century leader is someone who is creative,
innovative, prepared, and purposeful. They must take consistently research and
learn about current innovations and take risks as they seek to implement new
ideas. It is important they have
integrity with the public funds, social media and in the evaluation of programs
and technologies. To assist with research and learning, a 21st
century leader must be connected to a Professional Learning Network.
I used Thinklink to demonstrate the 21st Century Leader. Thinklink is an easy to use web 2.0 tool to communicate information through the use of images. Using a mouse the viewer can hover over each word to learn more about the object. For example, the characteristic of “Creative” is exemplified by the water bending. The description of “creative” was created using Google docs and was published so that it will appear as a stand alone paragraph. It includes a quote about “creativity” and an example of how a technology leader must creatively solve many technological issues.
Simon Sinek's Ted Talks, published on YouTube, had a profound impact on the development of this project. His talks are inspirational and motivating. Additionally, the work by Frank Covey, The Leader in Me, has provided a foundation for the leadership that students and teachers are seeking to develop throughout our schools today.
