I decided to read Wes Fryer's blog about his experience with various technologies. He seems like a Jack of all Trades in the technology world. Some of his blogs were about new technology, some were about incorporating technology in schools and school districts, still others were simple tips for people when using their computers. Of the posts which I read it seemed like he had a lot of knowledge about computer security, or maybe that was just what he happened to be focusing on at the time. One of his blogs even described how his Wordpress had been hacked so he had to go and do a lot of work to find out where the changes had been inserted, then upgrade to a newer version of Wordpress, then tighten his security even more so no one could access it.
To me it just seemed like he went above and beyond what the normal person would have done in that situation. He also described a new program called Deepfreeze and explained the pros and cons of it. How it can revert computers harddrives to almost pristine condition but how this could also be used negatively if someone wanted to hide their tracks. I think he has a lot of really good ideas about technology in the classroom and he clearly has sufficient knowledge about a lot of areas in technology. He even posted a comment explaining the power dynamics in a school when it comes to technology. He described the teachers as the obtainers, the IT staff as the maintainers, and the principles and superintendents and the sustainers.
