new blog

Since my job now involves blogging about technology, I'll be posting here less often.

In case you hadn't noticed already.

Anyway, if you want to check out my other blog, it's at eipstech.blogspot.com.

and we're back

Welcome back to another school year, I trust you had a good summer.

This year you can look forward to a blog post here every week. There may be posts more often if necessary, but there should at least be new posts on Wednesdays.

As always, feel free to comment on any of the posts.

introduction

This the the requisite introduction post, where I say that I'll be writing about how I use and/or recommend using technology in the practice of teaching. I intend to write about gadgets, software, and websites, and hopefully provide useful information.

I should also provide some disclaimers:

• I'm not affiliated with any company other than my school board.
• Views expressed are my own and do not necessarily represent those of my employer, or anyone else for that matter.
• When evaluating gadgets, my opinions are most influenced by price and usability.
• Talking about a product does not necessarily consitute an endorsement of that particular product, there may be better or cheaper options that I don't know about.
• Wherever possible, I recommend free and/or open source software. I think that's important.
• I will try to have up-to-date information, but let me know if there are things I should change, update, or re-evaluate.
• I'm very open to feedback, please comment.
