Some of NSBA's relevant publications have been rolled into a Toolkit for policy-makers. They include Leadership and Technology: What School Board Members Need to Know, Plans and Policies for Technology in Education: A Compendium, Telecommunications and Education: Surfing and the Art of Change, and Multimedia and Learning: A School Leader's Guide. Very worthwhile!
One division of the NSBA, the Institute for Transfer of Technology to Education, is designed to help advance the wise use of technology in public education. They hold annual conferences as well as small meetings and site visits.
American School Board Journal is an editorially independent education magazine published on-line monthly by the National School Boards Association. Founded in 1891, American School Board Journal chronicles change, interprets issues, and offers readers practical advice on a broad range of topics pertinent to school governance and management, policy making, student achievement, and the art of school leadership. In addition, regular departments cover education news, school law, research, and new books.
The National School Boards Association also publishes an on-line Electronic School Magazine. Recent topics include Electronic Exams, Copyright in a Digital Age, and School Board of Tomorrow.
