Brick and Mortar. Refers to the traditional school setting where students and teachers interact within the confines of the schoolhouse and school day (Strauss, 2015). 

Digital Citizenship. International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), cites nine essential elements of Digital Citizenship that center around the premise that Digital Citizenship can be defined as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior regarding technology use (ISTE, n.d.). 

Digital Divide. The Digital Divide, or the digital split, is a social issue referring to the differing amount of information between those who have access to the Internet (especially broadband access) and those who do not have access. The term became popular among concerned parties, such as scholars, policy makers, and advocacy groups, in the late 1990s (Stanford University Online, n.d.) 

Digital Immigrant. Refers to an individual who was born before the widespread adoption of digital technology. The term digital immigrant may also apply to individuals who were born after the spread of digital technology and who were not exposed to it at an early age. Digital immigrants are the opposite of digital natives, who have been interacting with technology from childhood (Joy, 2012). 

Digital Native. The post-millennial "digital native," a term coined by U.S. author Marc Prensky in 2001 (CNN online) refers to one born after the widespread adoption of digital technology. The term digital native doesn't refer to a particular generation. Instead, it is a catch-all category for children who have grown up using technology like the Internet, computers and mobile devices. This exposure to technology in the early years is believed to give digital natives a greater familiarity with and understanding of technology than people who were born before it was widespread (Joy, 2012). 

Distributive or Distributed Leadership. “In the distributed leadership model, the principal shares authority and power; teachers take leading roles, assume responsibility, and act independently as individuals or groups,” (Giouroukakis and Natsiopoulou, 2010). 

Flipped Classroom or Flipped Learning. Scott LaFee defines Flipped Learning in a March 2013 article in the School Administrator as “the idea that technology, properly exploited, can push a lot of basic learning outside schoolhouse walls, creating room and time for deeper, more personalized instruction within,” (2013). 

Instructional Leadership or Shared Instructional Leadership. “Shared instructional leadership involves the active collaboration of principal and teachers on curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Within this model, the principal seeks out the ideas, insights, and expertise of teachers in these areas and works with teachers for school improvement,” (Marks and Printy, 2003). 

Learning Management System (LMS). “The modern LMS is also expected to help teachers find and craft content and lessons, conduct complex analysis of so-called "big" learning data, recommend external content for each individual student, and make use of video and other multimedia,” (Herold, 2014). Learning Management system is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of electronic educational technology (also called e-learning) courses or training programs. 

Student Information System (SIS). Follett Learning defines Student Information System (SIS) as a centralized platform for hosting and managing student data. SIS safely and securely stores data like class schedules, school events, student performance, athletic eligibility, individual health records, and much more (2016).
