 * Administrative Technology Leadership Overview:**
 * Please note that these resources are a compilation of sites and videos shared during all of the introductory sessions. You may see more than Chris had time to present to your group.

We are using a wiki so that we can continuously add resources that might help you explore the concepts that Chris presented. Not sure what a wiki is? Watch this [|video] for a short explanation.

Wikis are a great tool to support collaboration. Want to try? Click on Big Ideas here or under Navigation (to the left) and contribute! Use this wiki page to share what you have learned or are thinking about after this introductory session, as well as read comments from your colleagues. We will have more hands-on practice with wikis in the upcoming sessions.

Want one of your own? Wikispaces is a great friend of education and make their wikis free of advertising for K-12 educational use, but you have to start here http://www.wikispaces.com/site/for/teachers100K.

Click on **Big Ideas** under **Navigation** on the left-hand side of this window to add your own thoughts and ideas about the training.

Please note that the video links within the PowerPoint will __not__ work. In some cases, those videos can be found online and downloaded for your use. If you have difficulty locating a video, please email one of the instructional coordinatords who can help you find it or a suitable alternative.
