“It’s the economy, stupid!” is an exhortation that caught my ear. As one considers how leadership is handled in some school districts in regards to technology, it’s not an exaggeration to say to myself: “It’s the leadership, stupid!” Dr. Scott McLeod (Dangerously Irrelevant) makes a point that has finally come home for me in the last few months, and, at a deeper level than I understood it before. “…most of the leadership problems we run into regarding school technology implementation and integration have less to do with the technologies and more to do with failure to enact good leadership practices. It’s likely that if school leaders aren’t facilitating appropriate training or time or funding or support or policy for technology initiatives, they probably aren’t for most other, non-technology initiatives either.”
