Abstract

Bringing new technology into schools is a complex, challenging process for teachers and administrators alike. There is an overwhelming volume of literature on issues like selecting hardware and software, planning budgets, and providing teachers with the basic technology training they need to get started. However, effective leadership requires a sophisticated knowledge of, and sensitivity to, a myriad of other issues, such as the privacy and First Amendment rights of teachers and students, the problem of unequal student access to technology in school and at home, and the proper role of commercial and corporate entities in public schools. This paper will explore these issues, and suggest that educational leaders consider them in their day-to-day decisionmaking.
