In my school district, everyone is involved in book studies. I'm happy to share that the required book for all of the principals this school year is "The World Is Open: How Web Technology Is Revolutionizing Education", by Curtis J. Bonk.
I couldn't resist posting the web-based resources for each chapter of the book on my blog!
