Tech Director Chat

A weekly chat tackling the issue of educational technology from both sides. Ben Rimes, a former teacher turned educational technologist, chats with Pete Poggione, an Information Technology Professional from the private sector turned School IT Director.This week we focused entirely on questions from our school district, including some seriously geeky responses from Pete about RAM, cache, and how to best avoid the "beachball of death". We even make a recommendation for Memory Clean, a Mac App that will help you regain some "snap" in your Mac's step. Once Ben gets Pete back on track we attempt to tackle some big questions about the direction of technology in our school district, and Pete is completely stumped by a musical trivia question about the Beatles.Timestamps for this week's questions:1:30 What has Pete been doing at his big conference?2:03 So this conference you were at is seriously techie?4:30 Any tips for people to get their Macs to run faster?5:28 For non techies, what does Cache or RAM stand for?5:58
