Leading Online Technological Integration into
the Curriculum
As instructional leaders for their programs, administrators need to
be able to provide the supports necessary for teachers to utilize
online resources into their curriculum. This session will provide
theoretical and practical frameworks that support online resources
integration as teachers incorporate technology into their courses.
We will use Flanagan, L., & Jacobsen, M. (2003). Technology
leadership for the twenty-first century principal. Journal of
Educational Administration, 41(2), 124-142 as a guide.
Leading Online Technological Integration into
the Curriculum
By the end of the 75 minute session, the participants will:
• have a working understanding of the barriers to effective
technological integration,
• understand how the issues related to the technology integration
impacts the program,
• understand how interventions impact students, and
• have a list of resources that can be discussed with their support
teams back in their organization

Equity Issues
State Board of Education Statement on School Libraries
The Michigan State Board of Education recognizes that school library media centers provide
Michigan's students and staff equitable access to print and digital resources critical to supporting
21st century teaching and learning.
The Board further recognizes that certified library media specialists serve a critical role in
increasing student achievement by supporting, collaborating, and co-teaching with classroom
teachers in reading development, in integrating information and technology literacy skills into
the content curriculum, and in meeting the expectations for student research set forth in the
Common Core State Standards.
The Library of Michigan, an office of the Michigan Department of Education, has developed the
"SL21 Measurement Benchmarks for Michigan School Libraries for 21st Century Schools" and calls
for school administrators and school librarians to use the SL21 measures to assess the quality of
school library programs in individual buildings.
The Board supports these efforts and supports a call for all elementary and secondary students
to have ready access to a library in their school with appropriate resources, programming and
certified staff.
