Mal Lee continues to lead the way with this simply wonderful taster of his upcoming book on digital transformation in schools.
The full document, which is an absolute MUST READ can be downloaded here:

I'd suggest that every school leader needs to know where their institution sits in this taxonomy and the model gives a very useful breakdown of next steps, whilst also potentially providing the basis of a framework for long term strategy.
The whole piece is a gem but perhaps the point that resonates loudest with me is the recognition that researchers looking to establish a causal link between technology deployment and academic (or other) achievement have really missed what is going on in digitally normal schools. What's really important is how the technology is brought to bear on student learning, within a complex web of influencers on achievement. Technology is not the silver bullet but we are beginning to see that it is very much an essential element of the overall armoury.
Bring on NO RULES LEARNING...
