What do educators say about Randall?

Very knowledgeable and friendly!

Randall has always been very generous with his time and knowledge. We have never worked in the same town or county but he has always answered my questions and provided solutions. Whether it was podcasting equipment, lesson ideas, or Minecraft servers Randall always stays up-to-date on the latest trends and best practices.

An Invaluable Asset

Randall Black’s expertise in technology as a classroom teacher led to his transition into technology support as a Technology Integration Specialist. Anyone who knows Mr. Black understands that his knowledge and skills are unmatched in meeting the needs of a teacher who either needs support in maintaining the operation of their various tech devices, or in offering support in how to use tech and applications to improve student learning. In my opinion, he is one of the best at providing operational and integration support to teachers and students in education. While his knowledge and skills are exemplary, his passion for his work is what sets him apart from most. He sees his role in providing support for teachers who have a need in improving their ability to integrate technology into their instruction as important as any other responsibility related to tech support in the school. Mr. Black recognizes his role in supporting student learning, which makes him an invaluable asset to any school in which he is working.

Helpful and Knowledgeable

I really appreciated all the support I got from Randall when I was new to the podcasting world. He helped me figure out how to set it up and also talked to me about getting a microphone. As I developed a YouTube channel, Randall was one of the people I reached out to. He also supported me in the early construction of my blog and helped walk me through some technical issues I was having. He is a wealth of knowledge regarding technology, and willing to share and help others. He is a friendly guy that I am thankful to be connected with. Randall Rules!!
