The American Association of School Administrators (AASA), the national organization for school superintendents, asked me to write a column for its monthly magazine, The School Administrator. That article is now available:

Responsibility for asking the right questions

In the article, I recommended that superintendents ask some key leadership questions:

When and why do we use digital technology in our classrooms?

How does our usage of digital technologies align with our curricula and instructional goals?

How do we know whether technology is being used effectively in the classroom?

What positive results are we seeing from our use of digital instructional technologies?

What are the barriers to effective technology usage by students and teachers?

How can technology better facilitate student learning?

What would you add to the list?
