We Have This Technology…Maybe We Should Use It? #hackingleadership

We’ve been taking a careful look at interactions within our organization…how we connect, what we forget and what we assume. In particular, this week, we’ve been preparing for our new staff coming into the district.

There’s so much information that swirls around and I think sometimes we forget some of the basics and assume that folks will figure it out. I remember when I first started as a principal we had a meeting at another school in the district and I didn’t know how to get there (well before Google maps)! I also didn’t know what anyone looked like or what they did.

So we’re going to pay particular attention to this…use some of this tech to make small connections with people throughout the year. Things like a simple, quick, informal video make a difference. I’m convinced of it.

So this is our first stab at it. There will be more!
