Current research on computer technology integration in K–12 school classrooms indicates that student learning outcomes remain flat despite heavy investment. Examining school leadership conceptions about technology integration might reveal a way to reverse this trend. This study adapts a survey instrument from Brush and Bannon and applies it to Indiana school district superintendents. Key findings indicate respondents perceive developing technology goals and plans for a school district, providing instructional support, and integrating technology into a core curriculum are very important for instructional technology leadership, but educational experiences and credentials are less important. However, respondents from school districts with smaller student enrollments and who report having little or no knowledge of instructional technology tend to view educational experiences and credentials more highly than respondents from larger schools and who report being very knowledgeable. Implications are that superintendents tend to emphasize the technology-use aspect of instructional technology leadership over instructional proficiencies.

Technology leadership drives the technology integration program of any educational institution. School administrators take challenging tasks in integrating technology in the classroom. Their roles are critical to ensure that students’ learning in today’s context is globally relevant. Relatedly, this study examined the technology integration leadership of school administrators involved in a school-wide initiative via a three-module series seminar workshop on action research using descriptive qualitative research approach. A thematic analysis of the written abstracts provided an overview of the technology leadership of school administrators. Specifically, results revealed four technology related themes namely; School Policy Development, Professional Development of Teachers, Blended Learning Approach, & Teaching Strategies to Enhance Learning. Further research focusing on each theme is recommended to determine its impact to the actual teaching and learning implementation in the school.
