Overview

School administrators want to be better leaders, strategic planners, and stewards of their time and resources. Gary Ivory explains that technology, rather than an end in itself, is a powerful tool for administrators with these goals in mind. The compilation of expert advice in his book will walk the reader through presentation software, spreadsheets, the Internet, networks, and system models - all with an understanding of the very practical needs of administrators. For the uninitiated to whom technology appears daunting, and for those who simply want to hone their organizational and leadership skills, this book is a ready reference guide.
