DISCUSSIONS
Conclusions/Implications (for your profession):
Principals technological leadership;
improves teachers technological literacy
improves teachers technological development significantly,
directly influences teachers to integrate technology into their teaching.
and teachers technological literacy improves their effectiveness.
Moreover, as technological leaders; principals must develop and implement vision and
technology plans for their schools, encourage the technological development and
training of teachers, provide sufficient technological infrastructure support, and develop
an effective school-evaluation plan.
As technological leaders principals cannot ignore the influence of technological
development outside of the school and principal should find out how to become an
appropriate technological leader in the school. Principal should guide the teachers to
implement technology into teaching. However principals should not only focus on
hardware needs of the school, they also should focus on implementation of technology
in the school.

Students Reflections (changes to your understanding; implications for your
school/work):
If a principal can be a leader to encourage teachers to develop technological literacy and
implement technology, they will be more enthusiastic to use technology in their teaching

developing technology; it is not really expected for teachers to use technology in their
classrooms. Technology implementation of school should be well planned and used by
leader of the school (principal). And then teachers should be encouraged to develop
themselves about technology literacy and implementation technology into teaching. As a
technology teacher I support and believe that, 21st century learning cannot be fully
effective without technology and every teacher must be guided and trained to use
appropriate technology applications that is related with their subject. No principal and
