What do you want to get out of this course? 

I am taking this online course, called  "Leading Evaluation and Change in the Educational Technology Environment," from Dr. Kevin Smith through Dakota State University.  I would like to get out of this course an understanding of what "leading" means through evaluation and "leading" means with change in context with the Educational Technology environment.  I am guessing that I have already been an instrument of leadership regarding Educational Technology at my school.  I took over the position of K-12 Computer teacher with the idea that our high school students needed more than the limited Computer Science classes that they were provided previously.   I proposed course offerings to the administration that could appeal to our students and allow additional options for them to acquire credits.  I believe this might also follow the "change" in the Educational Technology environment also, as with many of Computer Science courses, it involves working with other students through teamwork and problem-solving.  So, I hope that I am on the right track in my thinking.
