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:
