New technologies and educative leadership

Abstract

This overview describes the linkages between new technologies and educative leadership, the theme of this special issue. It discusses the tension between the pervasiveness of technology in society and educators’ apparent uncertainty about how to best use information and communication technology. Also, the foci of the following articles that are written from a variety of international perspectives are summarized, and a set of critical questions about how new technologies are reshaping our understandings of leadership are offered. In addition, some of the educational challenges and opportunities associated with technology are described, and a rubric that can be used to consider the capacity to link new technologies and educative leadership is proposed.
