“This book offers remarkable, evidence-based insights for school leaders in a wide range of contexts about how to make productive use of multiple technologies for improving their students’ educational experiences and their own organizational management.” Professor Kenneth Leithwood, University of Toronto, Canada “Finally, a book that shows how technology leadership is really about instructional leadership! Drawing on years of research and fieldwork, the authors offer a practical and conceptual roadmap for school leaders who want to build equitable, sustainable systems for technology-rich learning. This is the rare book that treats technology not as a trend or a threat, but as a powerful set of tools with guidance for how leaders can improve teaching and learning in schools.” Professor Richard Halverson, University of Wisconsin-Madison, United States. “Adams and Gurr have compiled in this volume an eclectic and utterly fascinating collection of global perspectives on school leadership and technology. This book is both wide-ranging and deep.
