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.  \u003cbr\u003e ?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAs a practicing principal I encourage you to read this book.

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!\" \u003c\/em\u003e -- Kathleen Fulton, Author of Time for Learning: Top 10 Reasons Why Flipping the Classroom Can Change Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword Preface Acknowledgments About the Authors Part One.
