What's in Your
Digital
Toolbox?
Who am I?
@tk1ng
what do I do?
I teach computer technology!
One of my jobs is to 'de-brand' my students. As a technician or engineer you consider technology objectively, not emotionally as a consumer does.
My approach has always been that of a technician: you choose the best tool for the job based on an objective view of what it can do
So, what's in your digital toolbox?
I'm branded, but not as a teacher, and by an industry wide technology standard supported by all the big names:
