Tech-savvy superintendents – Your input is requested

A weekly newsletter featuring the biggest ideas from the smartest people

I have a research team that’s going to spend the summer interviewing as many of the eSchoolNews technology-savvy superintendents as we can. eSchoolNews has named 10 tech-savvy superintendents for each of the past 7 years, so our total number of interviews could be as high as 70.

We’re trying to learn what makes these superintendents tick: how they think about digital technologies, what makes them different from other superintendents, what they do in terms of internal support and training, etc. We’d love to have your input as to what questions we should ask these folks.

Got a great idea for an interview question we should ask these superintendents? If so, please post it as a comment below. Thanks!
