written an article related to "Transforming the Role of Students and
Teachers in the Information Age", in which he has expressed his concerns

Transforming the Role of Students and Teachers in the Information Age
James L. Morrison
Morrison praises Spady's vision of educational reform and provides an
example of it in practice. In his graduate-level course, "The Social
Context of Educational Leadership," Morrison focuses on the challenges
that students are likely to face in their careers in the Information Age
and on the skills they need to face these challenges successfully. He
insists that, in a world where the professional knowledge base is changing
rapidly, these prospective administrators must be able to use information
technology tools competently. He therefore requires all class members to
design a Web site, to research both individual and team papers through
Internet search engines, to create presentations with PowerPoint software,
and to post their work to their Web pages and thus make it accessible to
other professional educators. How do students respond? Find out in "From
the Editor."
