Favorite Tech Gifts at Christmas with Will & Josh from the HiTech Podcast. This is episode 730 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Will and Josh of the HiTech Podcast are on Teaching Learning Leading K-12. This is our 2nd Annual Christmas show. We are focused on our favorite tech gifts. We had a blast! Will and Josh are always fun to talk with! I am so glad that I was invited to participate. After we introduce our favorite tech gifts, we then rate them. make sure that you go to their YouTube channel so that you can see what we are talking about. But do that after you have listened here.
A little about the HiTech Podcast...
The HiTech Podcast started because two friends couldn't shut up about their jobs and their wives were tired of listening to it on date night. So, we decided to bring our conversation to you, sharing our expertise and tomfoolery for all to hear.
We exist to help you, and ourselves, process the best ways to harness technology in the traditional or virtual classroom.
Here's a little about Josh…
A lover of technology, theology, and learning. I found my love for education early on as a college student. Higher education changed my life and that experience pushes me to always pursue better learning experiences. I am always looking for ways we can harness tech to enhance our teaching and learning.
And some about Will…
An educator by heart and practice. I caught the bug for teaching in the martial arts, but I extended that into higher education and non-profit education. Always looking to find the best tools and methods to solve our teaching and learning problems.
We had a blast, and you will too!
Thanks for listening!

Will Illingworth & Josh Swartz - HiTech Podcast - talk with Steve about Old Tech We Have Found and Compare It to New Tech. This is episode 689 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Will and Josh from the HiTech podcast are back and today we are focused on some old tech that we have found. We spent a couple of months visiting garage sales, estate sales, and stores like Good Will. The purpose was to see what cool old tech we could find and share on the show.
We bring to the table a telescope, scanner, a unique phone, a couple Walkman, a Palm Pilot III, and a movie camera, editing station, and a home movie projector. We share our technology from the past and compare it to technology from today. It is amazing how much old tech has been replaced by one device - Do you know what that device is?
We had a blast talking about old technology.
Thanks, Will and Josh for the great discussion!
That was fun!

Episode 61: Preparing For Backup
Friday Jul 10, 2015
Friday Jul 10, 2015



- If you don't know how to backup files, find a youtube video, instructional web page, ask a friend or pay someone to set up and show you how. It's that important!
- Even if you work in an environment that does backups, make your own! Remember, it is your data, you are responsible for it, and you will be the one crying if everything is lost!
- Test your backups. A backup isn't any good if you can't use it.
- Periodically review your backup policies. You might need/want to tweak them. Update your bookmark backups, etc. You might have old files that can be archived on CD/DVD and deleted from the hard drive.
