Technology I'm using daily as a School District CIO. This past November I started a new chapter in my career and became the Chief Information Officer (CIO) for the district I was a teacher in for 10 years. It combines my experience as a teacher and educational technology specialist, as well as my 10 years as an engineer and project manager, into one very exciting, busy, crazy, rewarding job. I am responsible for the IT department, as well as coordinating with the data teams and all technology issues and projects. In the past, I've written about the technology I used on a daily basis as a teacher. Today, I want to write about the technology I'm using on a daily basis in my job as CIO and how this technology helps keep me organized, informed, and communicating with others.
Some of it is the same, some different, and some just used differently. Evernote - Evernote, an electronic notebook with lots of great features, is my main tool. As CIO, I have created multiple notebooks.

My Tribute to Evernote: A Student's Guide. Continuing my overview of Kierkegaard's challenging work on Christian love. My goal is to reflect what Kierkegaard says, not what I think on the subject. Despite not showing preference, one is not to stop loving their beloved, since to do so would be contradictory as the neighbour is everyone.
Only the preferential should be taken out of love, not the love itself. The more preferentially one loves, the further from neighbourly love one gets. Man's kinship is to God, and since God is love and man is to be in God's likeness, man must love as God loves - without prejudice and without distinction. Therefore, the highest love is neighbourly love. Friendship and erotic love require additional objects to love, however neighbourly love has no object, just love.
Even non-Christians display Christian love when they shutter at certain forms of distinction (e.g. caste system). However, Christianity - though making all men equal - has not taken away distinctions. Evernote for Education.
