In Episode 8 of The Dark Side of the Moon, the conversation tackles a long-avoided fault line in schools: the split between IT and educational technology.
What began years ago as a practical solution, a teacher who “knew tech” stepping in to help, may now have become a structural liability. As AI accelerates change and risk increases, the trio ask whether fragmented leadership around technology is still sustainable, or whether schools are carrying a model that was never designed for the weight it now holds.
The discussion moves beyond personalities and into structure. Who actually owns technology in a school? Is integration a strategic function or a reactionary one? And what happens when no one holds responsibility for the whole system?
This episode is honest, at times uncomfortable, and deliberately unfinished. It does not rush toward solutions. Instead, it names the tension and asks whether schools are ready to rethink how technology leadership is designed before the system forces the issue.
