Leadership

School leaders are key actors in re-imagining schools for a

Digital future. They have to recognise that their students are a

resource to be unleashed; that they have the knowledge, skills

and understanding to contribute to and develop their own

learning experience. This approach to teaching can be scaled

up to reframe the role that young people play in the whole

school system. Leaders need to think innovatively about the

resources already within their school and how to mobilise them

all to make maximum impact from invigorating ICT lessons, to

embedding technologies across the curriculum. This is about

focusing on small levers with the potential to create big

change.Their Space - Education for a digital generation, Green and Hannon, Demos 2007 p 66
