Introduction to Showcase Showdown

As computer technologies have been implemented nationwide in schools as an  agent of change, you (the instructional technology specialist-computers), may be the center of many decisions which have far-reaching consequences.

To further understand aspects of leadership, change and the factors that may be involved, we ask that you explore the "Showcase Showdown" in detail. This case is rich in issues as well as different perspectives. Learning to isolate these variables and to obtain needed information as well as charting possible consequences may assist you in choosing/ suggesting or guiding others in making appropriate decisions. Doing so may also help us to avoid the typical knee-jerk reactions that form the basis for much of our decision making in school's today.
