ManagementManagement involves controlling Instructional Technology through planning, organizing, coordinating, and supervising" (Seels & Richey, 1994, p. 49). The domain of management includes four sub-domains of theory and practice:
Project Management Resource Management Delivery System Management Information Management Within each of these sub-domains there is a common set of tasks to be accomplished: organization must be assured, personnel hired and supervised, funds planned and accounted for, facilities developed and maintained, and short- and long-term goals established. A manager is a leader who motivates, directs, coaches, supports, monitors performance, delegates, and communicates. |
Reflection
Managing my classes have been a work-in-progress for years. Each year our school system requires proper training of its technologies and in using resources in making communication and learning presentation more accepting. Through IITMA, managing my educational load has taken a more efficient path. Through the use of technologies, I have offered online resources to my students that they utilize at home or on the go through their personal electronic devices. By managing my information I can achieve a more balanced communication threshold that I have not had at my disposal. Many older necessary techniques required me to print, teach, review, set work expectations outside of the classroom and then revisit or review that past material by either printing and teaching it again; wasting time and resources. Currently, I present my lesson plans online through Blackboard and parents and students can access materials away from the classroom, which include recordings or videos that help enhance my teaching window. Emails and targeted communications have enabled me to provide information to specific group while not dissuading and souring the communication path with unnecessary emails or incorrect information going to the wrong parties. This improvement in technology use has allowed me to streamline my methods of management practices.

4.3 Delivery System Management
Delivery system management involves planning, monitoring and controlling 'the method by which distribution of instructional materials is organized' . . . [It is] a combination of medium and method of usage that is employed to present instructional information to a learner" (Seels & Richey, 1994, p. 51). This includes attention to hardware and software requirements, technical support for the users and developers, and process issues such as guidelines for designers, instructors, and ECIT support personnel.
