Ask Me About

There are a lot of blogs out there with a lot of smart (well mostly) people sharing smart things.  So what do I have to offer?  Here are some things I think I’m well qualified to talk about:

  • Running an IT Department and managing technical staff
  • Managing a technology infrastructure
  • Plus and minuses in the worlds of Mac, Windows and Linux – I know quite a bit about all 3
  • How to implement technology in schools – I’ve implemented a huge variety of technical solutions in schools from from switched networks to SmartBoards to custom software to virtualized servers and everything in between
  • How to integrate many different systems – I’ve spent way too much time connecting the leg bone to the hip bone.
  • Ideas on teacher professional development in technology – While anyone claiming to have “figured out teacher technology PD” out is probably lying, I’ve done my fair share of technology PD.  I have a good sense for what tends to work and, more importantly, what doesn’t
  • Teaching computer science – I have my undergrad in Compsci, currently pursuing Masters in Software Engineering and taught AP Compsci for 8 years
  • iPhone vs Blackberry Storm – I have both!  (Don’t ask)

And, of course, while I feel qualified to talk about the above, I also love talking about:

  • Anything technology – especially collaboration, software development and gadgets
  • Anything education
  • Creativity, innovation, design and media
  • Mountain biking, running, orienteering
  • My wife and kids ;)

And that’s that! I’d love to chat.  Feel free to contact me.
