It is extremely important in a world full of technology that each district and school has their own website. An administrator is the leader of the building and as a leader they set the example. They need to show their staff, students and community that they are up on the latest technology. They can use different applications/resources to update the schools website, for staff meetings, special after school events, etc. If they keep the schools website updated then community members and staff will constantly feel in touch with the school. This will also help an administrator set their expectations for the staff high. If a principal is doing their part to keep the community informed then they can hold teachers accountable and expect them to do the same.
One other major advantage an administrator will have with utilizing technology within the school is lowering the opportunity for any misconceptions or rumors to start. With providing an updated website community members will know where to get the correct information in the event of an emergency or any other crisis.
Administrators must make sure that their schools website is user friendly and professional looking. They should have a blog available so that they can provide community members with quick updates and it will give members of the community the opportunity to comment and ask questions.
