In Lani Ritter Hall’s presentation for the K12 Online Conference 2007, he discusses ways to teach students, teachers, and administrators technology integration. Hall’s presentation is about how technology specialist need to be good leaders. He speaks about all the aspects of integrating technology in schools and the criteria and guidelines that technology specialist need to follow.

Some criteria that Hall mentions to help technology integration are managing hardware and environment, administration collaboration and coordination, teacher professional development, and teacher collaboration. According to Hall this criteria can be met if the technology specialist is aware of their strengths and weaknesses, as well as teacher and administration’s strengths and weakness. Another thing that must be considered to meet criteria is to understand the needs of the school and manage priorities. Lastly there must be coordination and collaboration according to Hall.

Lani Ritter Hall says if all of these needs are met then your technology goals can be met. The goals may be met for the school year or if the use of technology is evolving in the school you are in, you can keep reaching for you dream goals especially with ambitions teachers and students.
