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.We're back for a second episode, and for those of you hoping for a shorter episode....you have no idea how much Pete likes to talk! In our pursuit of trying to find a regular recording time, and a means of controlling the length of the chat, we tackle a few questions this week. Rob, one of our High School teachers in Mattawan asks a great question about upgrading, and Melissa chimes in via Twitter with a great question for any school technology department, about accessibility for special needs learners using district technology.Timestamps for this week's questions:1:38 - Is it gratifying for Pete to get his hands dirty and work on help desk tickets instead of staying behind his desk all the time?4:30 - Are there new projectors or interactive whiteboards coming?6
