Digital leadership, by Eric Sheninger.
Our congratulations to Eric Sheninger, principal at New Milford High School in New Jersey and friend of MIT OpenCourseWare, on the release of his new book, Digital Leadership.
Among his innovative uses of technology, Eric and co-conspirator Juliana Meehan created a unique independent study option for his students based on MIT OpenCourseWare materials.
Here’s the Amazon description of the book:
It’s time for the next generation of leadership.
Digital 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.
