About THE Journal

THE Journal is dedicated to informing and educating K–12 senior-level district and school administrators, technologists, IT professionals, and tech-savvy educators who serve the nation's public schools, so they may improve and advance the learning process through the use of technology. Launched in 1972, THE Journal was the first magazine to cover “Technological Horizons in Education,” which has since come to be known as "ed tech."

THE Journal is now all-digital and remains the leading K–12 information source — delivering valuable information via daily news updates on THEJournal.com and via newsletters, webinars, and virtual summits focused on ed tech trends and the technologies influencing K–12 education across the United States.

Our readers have access to valuable actionable advice, best practices, industry trends, expert viewpoints, and insightful guides to help administrators, instructional technologists, IT professionals, and educators plan, develop, and successfully launch effective education and ed tech initiatives. THE Journal's editorial content is produced independently without influence from external organizations or advertisers; any "sponsored content" is prominently labeled as such.
