About THE Journal

THE Journal is dedicated to informing and educating K-12 senior-level district and school administrators, technologists, and tech-savvy educators within districts, schools, and classrooms to improve and advance the learning process through the use of technology. Launched in 1972, THE Journal was the first magazine to cover education technology.

THE Journal's franchise consists of the monthly print magazine, two Web sites (thejournal.com and EduHound.com), five newsletters (THE News Update, THE SmartClassroom, EduHound Weekly, School Security, and Collaboration 2.0), and targeted list rental opportunities.

With a circulation of 90,000 qualified readers, THE is the largest circulated education technology monthly publication. Each issue contains news, trends, and "how-to" features for K-12 technology decision-makers. Featured topics include networking, security, policy and advocacy, telecom, hardware/software, the smart classroom, mobile computing and wireless, eLearning, technology funding, professional development, technology support--all the important issues for administration and teaching. Each month, THE Journal also contains product reviews, best practices, peer-written articles, and "in-the-trenches" reporting.
