HW Tech Help Desk - Globally Speaking

Last night, Thursday, January 8th. Students in the Emerging Technology Course represented the HW Tech Help Desk in a live twitter chat #techteamMA. The discussion was based around the idea that student-run help desks can have a bigger impact in their own community and ultimately, globally. Throughout the student moderated twitter chat (@CodeLenny), students from all over New England, from both public and private schools engaged in a lively discussion about:
  • the Help Desk and its role in schools
  • the technology students would like to see more of in their classrooms
  • Help Desk accomplishments and how they support Ts and Ss
  • things Help Desk Ss would like to do better
  • the Help Desk and its relationship with IT Departments
  • how Help Desk Ss can support each other and... make their mark on the world.
@CodeLenny created a digital story, using Storify, that nicely organizes the discussion.
