The Times Union Tech Blog


I am very excited! I have been asked to write a guest post for the Albany Times Union's Technology Blog, and am currently gathering the info I need for a run at the "big time." Dave Adkins, a regular contributor to the blog and a colleague (I presented with Dave at a seminar on Cyber Safety at Voorheesville High School last month), asked me to sub for him while he was away. This is both exciting and daunting at the same time.

I mean, what can I offer to the discussion that these techies (Dave, or should I refer to him as Dr. Adkins(?), has a PhD. from the State University in Information Science and is Director of IT for New York State United Teachers) haven't already discussed? What can I add that won't seem trivial or banal?

I suppose I will go from the perspective of a teacher, and simply rewrite the post I gave here about RSS feeds and my cell phone. The way I see it, that post is applicable to all interests and professions...we all want to be up on the latest trends in blogs, right? (Is my inner geek showing?) And, at the very least, it seems like a reasonable thing to write about from a teacher/techie angle. So problem solved, I guess. I'll let you know when the post comes out!
