I am now a guest blogger at Dangerously Irrelevant, which is a popular blog devoted to technology, leadership, and the future of schools. The author is Scott McLeod, L. D., Ph. D. who is a professor at Iowa State University. The post is an article that I did on the idea that districts should think about cutting the position of technology director. This is a position I held from 1982 to 1993 before I became a principal. Thanks to Scott’s popularity, my article has attracted a lot of attention from his readers and is getting much attention of high profile people on Twitter. Let me know what you think.

I just came across your blog. Turns out I unknowingly wrote a similar post this past week.
I’m not sure if the tech position should be completely eliminated – some teachers really need the guidance. However, having a tech position makes it seem like the focus is on the technology rather than the learning.
Anyway, here are my more formal thoughts: http://wp.me/p1Dq2f-lK
I submitted a guest post proposal with Dangerously Irrelevant. Hoping I get it…
