This paper attempts to draw connections between the extensive literature on leadership in schools and the research on Information Communication Technology (ICT) integration. The integration of technologies for teaching and learning has affected the traditional roles and responsibilities of educational leaders. It seems that using ICT in education seeks fundamental reform and change in traditional instructional programs. Principals are the on-site educational leaders who shape and communicate visions of teaching and learning within their schools, and by their action or inaction influence school activity. Therefore, knowledge of how principals effectively manage staff and student use of computers is essential. This paper will distinguish how educational leaders impact on the different levels of ICT integration in school. Also, it will be argued that leadership for cohesive ICT integration requires an appreciation and consideration of the influencing factors on ICT integration and their subsequent alignment. In addition, the need for further research into the role and responsibilities of educational leadership in the integration of ICTs will be highlighted. The conclusions outline implications for school principals and information system practitioners. 2009-05-25T04:36:20Z 2009-05-25T04:36:20Z 2008-12-05 Working Paper p.645-653 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/5824 en International Conference on the Roles of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Eengineering 2008 (ICOHSE08) Universiti Malaysia Perlis |
