Seeing new perspectives is essential in fully understanding an issue, and whether you're adamantly against, passionately for, or simply indifferent about TpT, this blog post by @MikesTechCloset will give you three things to consider before you download.

Curious when @ISBEnews and the state in general will start taking tech leadership seriously for districts. Only leadership position that requires no schooling or certification, only area not req. to be covered in school leadership programs at any level, ect. @TonySandersSupt

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]

Thanks @AudioEnhancemnt for the great sound you helped provide for @ideaillinois #ideacon. Made presenting so much easier.

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]

Those attending #ideacon did you see what @BookCreatorApp created for attendees? This is great. https://t.co/4q9wfxnLUa

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]

@rival5tech has been one of the best companies I have worked with as a Tech Dir. For those coming to @ideaillinois #IDEAcon in two weeks make sure to check them out in the vendor hall.

Hear a little bit about how @moozoomapp_en helped my district @SunnybrookSD171 with SEL within 60 days. https://t.co/H01Ft9d7Ag. And hear more about this at @ideaillinois #ideacon at their booth or sessions on Feb 14th & 15th.

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]

Thank you. And all the members of the #ideacon planning teams over the years. With your leadership and the planning of the team including that leadership from @chanatown made this all possible.

[Amber Heffner @amber_heffner]

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]

Thanks again for coming out and working with our students @SunnybrookSD171 for the past 2 days. It was a lot of great information shared with our students and can't wait to have you back out to meet with the teachers on this as well.

@ideaillinois @icoachlindsay and @mrsseford_tweets working with @sunnybrooksd171 Nathan Hale students today regarding Internet Safety.

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]

This real email communication is why it is important to have two conversations, 1. Why don't we have more educational based tech leaders and 2. Why are teach leaders not part of the conversation in districts? #EDUTecLeaders #BePartoftheConversation

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]

Thanks @BookCreator_Cat coming out to train the teachers at @SunnybrookSD171 on @BookCreatorApp today before the school year starts.

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]

Just got word I can move up the finishing of my dissertation to next semester, so a year early. Then all I will have is classes left to finish my doctoral journey. #FutureDr

[Dr. Mike McGowan @MikesTechCloset]
