What is it?
The way school leaders incorporate technology on a daily basis can set a precedent for how technology will be used throughout a school. Just as technology should be incorporated as an integral element of daily instruction -- rather than an add-on -- school leaders must reflect the appropriate use of technology in their own daily work. School leaders will make better-informed decisions by understanding how technology can improve instruction, management, and personal productivity.

(Check out what our panel has to say about this specific question.)
- What are some ways school leaders can use technology in their daily activities?
- How often do you use technology and how do you use it? Are you comfortable talking about it? If your teachers have questions about technology in their classrooms, can they come to you for answers?
- Is technology used across the curricula to support learning goals?
- What alternative scheduling models can increase communication between staff and support peer mediation?
