Principal Connections is a CD-ROM and companion Web site designed to help school leaders recognize, promote, and evaluate effective technology use in their schools. The CD-ROM is divided into seven program areas: "You're the Leader" helps administrators examine their roles as technology leaders and identify barriers to integrating technology into their schools. This section includes an interactive technology skills assessment. "Technology as a Tool" looks at ways technology can be integrated into learning. An implementation assessment is coupled with context-sensitive strategies for increasing access and integration. "Foster the Environment" details strategies administrators can employ to help teachers become more accepting in their use of technology as a teaching tool. "Classroom Close-Up," an interactive observation tool coupled with video footage from an actual classroom, enables administrators to practice classroom observations. "Log On" looks closely at effective Internet use. It addresses bolstering the skills of novice users and key issues related to Internet use in schools, and provides practical advice on developing an electronic communications acceptable-use policy. "Tools of the Trade" helps administrators make informed decisions about allocating technology resources, including hardware and software. This segment contains a software evaluation tool that can be printed. "Planning for Tomorrow" looks at the technology planning cycle and helps school leaders understand the total cost of technology ownership. The Principal Connections Web site features additional resources and updates to the CD-ROM. For more information visit the http://www.principalconnections.org/
