Cedu 527 Technology Leadership Week 1

We saw a good video in class about an African (I do not remember which country he was from). He talked about corruption and the need for good leadership.

We are using the moodle again. It seems to me that the moodle has all of the features of a wiki and a management system all in one program. It would be like somehow combining PB wiki with Powerschool or Blackboard. Am I right, or does moodle have other capabilities as well?

Chapter one in Gabriel's book was interesting. It discussed leadership qualities and various types of leadership roles. I think that the qualities mentioned in chapter one would apply to any school leader and leaders in other walks of life as well. I think this book provides some useful information on leadership, but I also think that there are intangible qualities that allow people to be effective leaders. These qualities are not as easily analyzed.

Hey Dan,
Looking good. I agree that there are some added benefits to the moodle that we don't have access to in one program. It would be nice to go down that road, it may just take a technology leader like yourself ;) Hope your week is going well, and keep up the good work.
