Christopher Dawson is the technology director for the Athol-Royalston School District in northern Massachusetts and a member of the Internet Press Guild. See his full profile and disclosure of his industry affiliations, but always keep in mind that the opinions expressed here are his own and not those of his daytime employer, even if he talks incessantly about his day job.


He has worked for the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health and Biogen, Inc. (now Biogen-IDEC, Inc.) and has consulted with STATNet and Cytyc Corporation. Currently, his only business relationships of interest are with X2 Development Corporation (the supplier of the student information system he administers) and Hewlett Packard (the primary vendor for computer hardware in his district). He may report on either of these companies as his experiences with them have direct bearing on educational technology; positive reports are not necessarily an endorsement and he receives no financial compensation from these companies or any others.
