Law School Tech Talk » Podcast Feed

This week’s episode featured lawyer and social media expert Nichole Black (NY Law Blog and Law Tech Talk).  In this podcast, we discussed Chrome OS, law students Tweeting badly (the building’s on fire?), as well as legal ethics, cloud computing, and the implications for the practice of law.

Note: the sound is a little scratchy.

We decided to take a break from Toms.  This week, we asked Jamie Butler, Director of IT at UC Davis School of Law, to talk to us about digital signage and other fun issues.  This week’s podcast also featured a lively discussion about libraries using Netflix and the T.E.A.C.H. act, using the C-SPAN video library in law classes, and the latest less-than-professional student Tweets.
