Judi Harris Summary
ICT Leader: Judi Harris
Location: Williamsburg, Virginia, USA
Description of Work
Judi Harris holds a Ph. D. and is currently a Professor and Chair of Educational Technology Program at the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia. She is the author of many books and articles on the subject of ICT. Throughout her career, Judi has had many diverse experiences. She acted as a consultant, conducted many experiments, and taught at the University of Texas as an Associate Professor. She currently models best practices through teaching and modeling, conducts research, speaks and writes about ICT topics. Her current focus is on telementoring, tools for an internet supported classroom, and incorporating educational technology into teaching and learning.
Leadership Qualities
Judi actively shares her knowledge and experiences with others. She is active in the field. Judi also applies her knowledge creatively by writing many articles and books. Throughout her career, Judi has explored many uses of programs such as Logo, and their integration in the classroom. She has a strong vision and is committed to ICT development.
Philosophy of Learning
Although this point was not made directly in the research I found, I would have to infer that Judi is a teacher at heart. Learning and the acquisition of new ideas is her foundation. ICT is her vehicle. In one article I read, she makes a comment that “I will first and foremost be- and elementary school teacher.” (http://www.2learn.ca/Projects/Together/judi.htmlurces) That tells me that she is committed to the grassroots of our educational system, even at the most simple level. Her focus appears to be on making educational technology workable at the most basic stage.
How I Can Apply This to My Role
The point from reading about Judi that shone out for me was the statement that she madeabout being a teacher first. Ultimately, this is how we all started out (students currently in this AQ course), but it may not be where we all end up. I think it is important to reflect on why we are doing what we are doing so that we can keep perspective about where we are going. Otherwise, our work may be without proper focus. I appreciate that Judi made this point, as being in touch with reality can make all the difference in our lives, not just our work.
