A1: For me ... my biggest tech wish seems to always be: more memory. #mobile #iolchat
philosophypaul Feb 15 @ 12:24 PM EST

Hi @Melissa_Venable Are you seeking more memory for data,? Are you using cloud storage? #IOLchat

Hi Paul! A little of both. Using cloud storage, but maybe not as much as I should. #iolchat

Q2) What do you want #edtech companies to design or invent? New features and capabilities? #iolchat
philosophypaul Feb 15 @ 12:32 PM EST

A2 For some larger capacity good: expand available number of room participants for GHOs or Adobe or @zoom_us #IOLchat
In reply to @CenterOnlineEd, @zoom_us
CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 15 @ 12:34 PM EST

GHOs? Agreed on better (more 'seats' and video) for tools like Zoom and Collaborate. #iolchat

A2) I'd like ebooks that are more enjoyable to use. Not even sure what that means (guess I still prefer print). #iolchat
philosophypaul Feb 15 @ 12:42 PM EST

Perhaps interactive ebooks w responsive e-reader. Improvement on plain pdf style print. #IOLchat

Perhaps! I think the device issue is part of my struggle. #iolchat

A2) Also (my list gets longer) ... resources, ways to compare edtech options, get user feedback. Do we have something like this? #iolchat
CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 15 @ 12:50 PM EST

Last Q for today's chat ... coming up! ... #iolchat
CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 15 @ 12:53 PM EST

Q3) What is your best advice for those thinking about an online teaching? What do they need to prepare for tech-wise? #iolchat
philosophypaul Feb 15 @ 12:56 PM EST

A3 For online teaching vet your device for LMS compatibility Use Windows 10 or higher computer and get a mobile app #IOLchat

.... and well in advance of that first course! Troubleshooting will be one of your most-used skills with edtech. :) #iolchat

Also you may want redundant access. Recall when a workshop facilitator needed and use 2nd access. #IOLchat

Yep - this is the kind of thing you may never need, but when you do ... makes all the difference. #iolchat
