Pete is back! And he’s ready to tackle the hard questions about policy review, what makes him tick as a tech administrator, and cell phones in the classroom! Well, maybe only one of this is truly a difficult question to grapple with, but I enjoy the banter none the less. We finish up our list of questions from our high school that were compiled at the start of the school year, and talk about the advantages…and disadvantages of the use of cell phones in the classroom for learning. In fact, I highly recommend checking out an interesting piece from NPR about the rampant use, or rather misuse, of cell phones in college courses. We finish up the episode with Pete’s philosophy on being a tech admin, and a question from JW that proves Pete truly has no regrets in life.
