Watson Tech

I was talking with my coworker-friend about needing to share about some of the things I've done on our campus. We talked through some things and rounded out my list. She sent a text later that night, "Maybe you need a motto, too; I don't know, just to let them know how fun you make technology for us. People actually look forward to reading your emails and such because you use your humor." I laughed but she was serious. She sent a few options, adding that if I thought it was lame, don't worry about it...and Tech Without Tears was born!

I don't like to be bored, so anything I have to do for others - teachers or students - I want to make sure it's not boring. This site is a place for me share some of my ideas, useful websites and apps, reflections, etc. with others. I hope you are able to find something of use!
