Abstract
With social distancing prompting school closures for most pupils across England during March-July 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many educational leaders relied on technology to deliver remote learning for pupils, enable staff collaboration and facilitate the administrative functioning of their organisations. This study explores the accounts and observations of the use of technology during this period from Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) leading multi-academy trusts (MATs). Technology leadership and decision-making dynamics within these organisations are explored through the lens of direction-setting, agency and control (Hughes, 2019). Findings suggest that these organisations were able to implement many successful technology-enhanced practices to support students to continue to learn at home, yet challenges and unresolved tensions remained. The study concludes with insights from CEOs predicting future uses and trends for technology in education and recommendations for areas of further research.
