Why is web design knowledge critical for instructional technology leaders in the K-12 environment?

Web design knowledge is critical for IT leaders for a variety of reasons:

• You need to understand how it works,
  
• You may need to know why is DOESN'T work,
  
• As an IT leader, you may be asked to help maintain your school's web page,
  
• You may be required to take over the web page during the regular manager's vacation/illness, etc,
  
• I personally think it is a good piece of general knowledge to have and use occasionally. 
• I also happen to think that it is fun, even if it is frustrating at times. One of my goals is to practice with it until I can use the strict format and have it work. I do understand that this may take a while, and a lot of practice, but . . . I have a goal!
