Technology leadership is the key to digital integration in the field of education. However, there are various constraints preventing comprehensive technology integration in education today. The purpose of this report is to examine, analyze, and compare two studies focusing on technology leadership of educational leaders and digital integration in education, particularly in the context of schools in Malaysia. The analysis and comparison of the studies specifically focus on the concept of the Technology Leadership Model using the NETS-A standards and how a hypothesis model is constructed based on NETS-A adjusted to the education system in this country. Findings from both selected articles indicate that the level of technology leadership of educational leaders is high, but there are still various issues related to technology leadership in Malaysia that need attention, such as leaders not practicing virtual leadership, teachers as leaders not being proficient in optimizing technology use, and current limitations in technology usage equipment. Implications for each discussed issue are examined from policy, training, administration, and educational leadership aspects to ensure that the proposed steps taken have a positive impact on all educational entities and institutions. The results of this report show that technology leadership plays a crucial role in digital integration in schools in line with the functions and roles of leaders as the primary drivers of schools.
