: MANAGING DIGITAL SCHOOL IN THE NEW PARADIGM SHIFT

Abstract

As the world goes online, so are many schools. Today, in order to complete globally schools should enter the new technology paradigm, which is to shifting the traditional school environment into an e-school environment. Furthermore, in the new millennium, schools face many challenges that are affected by the dynamics of information technology (IT). IT is the main source of competitive advantage that enables schools to embark on a global platform. Society is undergoing a fundamental transformation from the Industrial Age to the Information Age. All the people, organisations, societies and nations are affected, although not at the same pace or to the same degree. Those who realign their practices most effectively to Information Age standards will reap substantial benefits. This paper discussed the proposed e-school, the components and the IT infrastructure for e-school.
