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.
