Peter DeWitt, Corwin author/Consultant "School leaders are charged with many responsibilities as they lead their schools. The job has changed dramatically and new approaches are needed to meet all of the demands placed on our profession. Leaders today must know how to harness the power of technology to effectively lead their schools. Technology can be used in a positive manner or simply used as an attempt to catch on to the ′next thing′. It is up to leaders to learn how to properly use technology to assist in reaching their goals. ? As a practicing principal I encourage you to read this book. It offers a wealth of information as well as providing examples of how real school leaders are using technology to meet their goals. The mix of information and real world examples make this a ′go to′ book and a must for your educational toolbox."
Michael Waiksnis, Co-Principal/Transformation Leader, 2014 South Carolina Principal of the Year "This book is aimed at administrators, but it’s really a terrific resource for all educators who want to stay on top of emerging technology trends in education! It is written with grace and clarity, and flows in a logical fashion thanks to an organizing framework that carries the reader from a description of today’s learners and the technological tools available to them, to their potential curricular implications and opportunities and on to the key issues which their use present to educators. Each chapter is grounded by leaders’ personal stories, and offers a great set of suggested activities and resources for going further with the topic. The list of key words used in each chapter, with definitions, is almost alone worth the price of the book! It’s a book I know I will be turning to time and again and will enthusiastically recommend to others. Bravo to Schrum and Levin for this updated classic!"
