This project grew out of the desire to understand and share the strategies that successful school leaders use to identify, implement and integrate digital technologies in school settings. What may come naturally to some leaders presents significant challenges for others; the catalyst for this project was the opportunity to systematically investigate the leadership of one experienced principal who was highly competent digitally and who recognised the opportunity to support colleagues nationwide. While digital technologies are a key element of future focused education and can be deployed to support pedagogical innovation, they frequently present complex problems for school leaders (Fullan 2011; Fullan & Langworthy, 2014). The New Zealand Curriculum (Ministry of Education [MOE], 2007, p. 36) explicitly states that "schools should explore not only how ICT can supplement traditional ways of teaching but also how it can open up new and different ways of learning." As principals lead their communities and schools in developing and reviewing their school curriculum it is essential that there is a clear statement of intent regarding the use of digital technologies to not only support but also transform learning.
