Abstract
The evaluative and reflective papers in this special issue of Education and Information Technologies show some interesting types of assistance information technology (IT) can provide to those who manage classrooms and educational organizations. Most of the papers are based on longitudinal research confirming the value of the applications of the IT presented. The papers strongly support the influence of the variable groups included in Fig. 1 in the introductory paper, and further comparison with the analysis framework can draw out inferences on what factors are of particular importance for successful implementation. We can conclude that, although the original framework was designed for more institutional level IT management implementations, it can additionally provide a guiding framework for evaluating the impact of IT on the wide variety of managing roles within the classroom, and should even provide a guiding and evaluative tool for a more virtual environment of the future
