(Update this slide with your own name, role and affiliation.) Welcome to this introduction to TICAL, which stands for âThe Technology Information Center for Administrative Leadershipâ; a mouthful, so you can see why it goes by the nickname TICAL. I am _______________ and itâs my pleasure to provide you with an overview of the TICAL project and how you can use it to improve the use of technologyâin your school, in your professional life, and even, perhaps, in your personal life.
TICALâs Forum provides you with a way to communicate with colleagues across the state and the nation on topics related to education and technology. If you have a group of administrators who needs a place for an online discussion, TICAL can help. And one of the most beneficial parts of TICAL is the Ask-a-Question discussion area. If you donât find what you need in TICALâs database, or you just want to pick you colleagueâs brains on a specific ed-tech topic, post your question here and TICAL promises you will get a timely response.
Transition: Change is about making things happen that wasnât possible before. Technology will allow us to have a synergy that will bring us together for a common goalâŠ
