With the economy in a tailspin and budgets getting strangled, you'll want to read how some ed-tech leaders are getting creative and saving thousands of dollars in this issue’s main feature, Dollars & Sense: Ed-tech Leaders Employ Creative Tactics to Cut IT Costs and Save Programs.

Some of the other thoughtful insight and analysis you’ll find in the issue:

• Help Wanted: Finding the Right IT Worker — School technology leaders across the country differ when it comes to the skills, education, experience, and personality they look for when hiring an IT specialist.
