Key Factors Tech-Savvy Superintendent
Based on information provided in the article from eSchool News: [|Meet 10 of the nation's tech-savviest supes] After reviewing the information shared about each of the superintendents in the article, I selected the "key factors" listed in the table below as indicators of leadership within technology within the role of superintendent.

These factors fell into two main categories: Tools and Methods/Philosophies

Based on the coding of the data, I created the following chart and graph to illustrate the application of both the specific tools and various methods/philosophies by each of the selected superintendents.

//Dan--Ok Let's look at the key factors you used-- you need to describe them in a way that I would make the same assessment. This is what goes in a coding book. I don't know what you mean by each of them. You made a distinction but then you lost it in your analysis.//

TOOLS Interaction board doc Camera Laptops Wifi We2.0/social

PHILOSOPHIES student focus teacher ed community investment access

WHAT DOES THE COLOR SIGNIFY? I am not sure what this tells you. Are you trying to find out who was the best? Or are you trying to find what made a superintendent the best? If it is the later, which I think is more interesting then you be looking for each of the features you identified, what percent of sups did that or thought that. So I could see two charts. One for technology with the percent of districts that had each of the different types of technology.

Then one for strategies that were important with a bit more description of what each entailed.
