Chips and Chalk is real talk from the intersection of classrooms and K-12 technology—where the polished conference presentations stop and the real stories start. This isn’t the overproduced edtech highlight reel. If you’re looking for polished vendor talk and perfect success stories… this isn’t your cast. This is about what happens behind the scenes. Cybersecurity scares. 1:1 device chaos. Infrastructure failures. Bad rollouts. Workarounds that somehow became systems. The wins nobody sees, the failures nobody talks about, and what we’ve learned the hard way along the way. Hosted by a practicing school technology leader, Chips and Chalk digs into the real challenges of school technology with honesty, humor, and zero admin polish. Some stories end in success. Some end in lessons. We’ll talk about how technology actually works in classrooms and behind the scenes—not just how it looked in the demo, not just what the vendor promised, but what happened after deployment, under pressure, and in real schools with real people. We’ll talk about what worked, what broke, what we’d do differently—and why the human side of technology matters as much as the technical side. If you want honest conversations about the messy reality of edtech, not the brochure version, pull up a chair. Because behind every “successful implementation” is usually a story no one put in the board report.
