Leadership and Organization for Technology

Leadership and Organization for Technology - "Turn back the clock 100 years. As a superintendent in the early years of the 20 th century, you must deal with the latest technological innovation, the No. 2 pencil. How will you respond? Will you put the pencils under the care of the business manager? Might you go a step further and create a Department of No. 2 Pencils? Will you evaluate your success as an educational leader based on the quantity of No. 2 pencils in the cabinet at the end of the school year? While these questions may seem preposterous, the answers take on serious consequences when we recognize that in the early years of the 21 st century, computers are simply the No. 2 pencils of our era. This analogy has some specific implications for school leaders who wish to maximize the impact of technology on learning."
