@njcashman Thanks for the leadership and for teaching me how to do this. You are a leader! #isteten

Q1-Q9 I have thoroughly enjoyed this chat----great ideas, interaction and a great collection of digital leaders. Thanks! #isteten

And yes on the responsibility of teacher ed faculty----that is improving. #isteten

@njcashman Good idea for helping bridge that gap between teacher ed and the classroom. #isteten

Advice for teacher prep on doing our part? #isteten

We offer a specialization in tech that includes a course in leadership and change. #isteten

A6: Sharing good models of how this sharing can work can help. #isteten

A6: Can we prepare both preservice and inservice teachers for the complexity and richness of sharing expertise with respect tech? #isteten

A6: First choice is mentor teachers who are digital leaders..second choice is support for new knowledge from preservice teachers #isteten

A5: We need to include leadership and change theory for our preservice teachers. #isteten

A5: As others have said, this can be awkward. We need to teach leadership skills. #isteten

Finding menor teachers is a challenge----we do not always get to choose. #isteten

A4: Should we only place student teachers with teachers who are digital leaders? #isteten

A4: Our future teachers may be in the best position to provide leadership in schools if we provide deep and rich each experiences. #isteten

Do we need special positions for our digital leaders? #isteten

A2: They are reflective about best uses of technology for student learning and skilled at identifying powerful approaches. #isteten

Too many ed tech specialists in schools and higher ed are forced to focus on the hardware and have little time to lead. #isteten

Leaders will focus on curriculum issues and student learning. #isteten

I think we have confused tech specialists with digital leaders and need to focus on the leader piece. #isteten

I am loving the fact that we have geographic and job diversity---good group! #isteten
