Abstract

Because the role of technology in education has increased exponentially in recent years, as has the importance of technology competence in the workplace, there is a greater need for principals to become technology leaders who are able to articulate and share a vision of equity that connects technology, curriculum, and pedagogy in preparing all students to be 21st century-skilled citizens. This quantitative study examines whether principals’ use of a Technology Action Plan as a means of sharing a technology vision is influenced by variables of gender, age, years of experience, professional development, perceived efficacy, and perceived vision and leadership. This study also seeks to determine if there is a linear relationships between principals’ professional development, efficacy, and vision and leadership.
