Move leadership into the digital ageDigital leadership is a strategic mindset and set of behaviors that leverages resources to create a meaningful, transparent, and engaging school culture. It takes into account recent changes such as ubiquitous connectivity, open-source technology, mobile devices, and personalization to dramatically shift how schools have been run and structured for over a century. Leading in education becomes exponentially powerful when using technology to your advantage. Eric Sheninger―"Principal Twitter"―shares his Pillars of Digital Leadership to help readersTransform school culture by initiating sustainable change Use free social media tools to improve communication, enhance public relations, and create a positive brand presence Integrate digital tools into the classroom to increase student engagement and achievement Facilitate professional learning and access new opportunities and resources The time is now, whether you are a building level or teacher leader, to boldly move schools forward in the digital age.
Eric Sheninger's passion for leadership and technology is inspiring. Not only is Eric incredibly knowledgable about the myriad of free resources available to teachers and administrators, but his philosophy regarding the use of technology is also very grounded in reality. Eric doesn't demand that every school immediately shove every tech innovation into the school for its own sake. In fact, Eric recognizes the pitfalls that often occur when a school tries to reinvent itself and integrate technology into the culture of the school.Eric addresses issues that administrators must heed, particularly relating to professional development, if schools want to successfully integrate technology into the school and not simply end up with computers sitting in the corner that are offered to distract kids and give them time killers at the end of the period. Careful, methodical, and collaborative work by the whole team is the only way to ensure that schools adopt the necessary policies and practices, and Eric offers excellent guidance toward these ends.I also admire that Eric doesn't fancy himself as a lifelong tech guru chastising the Luddites and naysayers. Eric fully admits to being a skeptic with regard to students using their own devices in school as well as the value of heavy investment into tech. I enjoyed reading about Eric's evolution into a true digital leader and his encouraging voice that not only can we all do it, but that we must do it and why. This book will give any current or aspiring school leader, technology department head, and/or classroom teacher a tremendous resource and treasure trove of information, resources, and encouragement, and should be on the shelf in every 21st century school that wants to keep schools on pace with the level of tech savvy that many of the students are arriving at school already having in their possession. Highly recommended.
