Navigating Device Maintenance for Better Learning Outcomes
How can schools maintain seamless access to technology without breaking the bank? Join us for a conversation with Tyler Falk of K-12 Tech, who shares his insights on the vital role of efficient device repair in the education sector. Tyler takes us through his journey from fixing gadgets in high school to becoming a crucial part of a company that prioritizes speedy and reliable repair services for educational devices like Chromebooks and iPads. As Tyler explains, K12 Tech stands apart by focusing on customer needs and making a genuine difference in schools' tech ecosystems, rather than just chasing profits.

Welcome to Spotlight for Success by American Book Company.
00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:06.065
We are here at Liqueue.
00:00:06.065 --> 00:00:11.971
I am Devin Pintosa, your host, and we are here with Tyler Falk with K12 Tech.
00:00:11.971 --> 00:00:13.987
Nice to see you, tyler, great to see you.
00:00:13.987 --> 00:00:17.850
All right, tyler, tell us a little bit about what brings you to Liqueue today.
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:20.609
Okay, so I'm here with K12 Tech.
00:00:20.609 --> 00:00:24.911
We're a local repair company based out of Hammond, louisiana.
00:00:24.911 --> 00:00:28.269
We're in New Orleans, so it's probably about 50 minutes away from here.
00:00:28.269 --> 00:00:37.051
Just coming here to connect with current customers, look for some new ones and find ways to help schools with break-fix.
00:00:37.051 --> 00:00:45.110
A lot of school districts and schools use Chromebooks, ipads, things like that, and the students break them and they need people to fix them.
00:00:45.290 --> 00:00:45.912
They sure do.
00:00:45.912 --> 00:00:47.765
That's what we do, that is so true.
00:00:47.765 --> 00:00:51.109
And what brought you into working with K-12 Tech?
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:56.813
So throughout high school, college, early college, I've always done device repair.
00:00:56.813 --> 00:01:00.850
There's cell phone repair stores and so it was better than having a job at a restaurant.
00:01:00.850 --> 00:01:12.352
So I got very in tune with it and through my boss and also a business partner now made a connection here and this is what we're doing.
00:01:13.441 --> 00:01:14.325
That is wonderful.
00:01:14.325 --> 00:01:16.364
Yep, well, I'm so happy you're here.
00:01:16.364 --> 00:01:20.629
Do you have anything you'd like to share with the Lequeu community about your company?
00:01:21.019 --> 00:01:24.308
So yeah, Really and honestly.
00:01:24.308 --> 00:01:28.908
Our biggest goal is there's companies who they're focused on selling, selling, selling, selling.
00:01:28.908 --> 00:01:29.087
How?
00:01:29.108 --> 00:01:29.709
much money can we make?
00:01:29.709 --> 00:01:29.930
How much?
00:01:30.281 --> 00:01:30.762
money can we make?
00:01:30.762 --> 00:01:32.888
At the end of the day, business costs money.
00:01:32.888 --> 00:01:35.203
What we do costs money, but we're just here to help.
00:01:35.203 --> 00:01:36.927
We want to provide a difference.
00:01:36.927 --> 00:01:47.337
Kids break devices all the time and you have to spend more money to replace the devices if you can't figure out ways to fix them fast and in a great way.
00:01:47.337 --> 00:01:48.118
You know what I'm saying.
00:01:48.118 --> 00:01:51.027
Like get them back into their hands so they can use them for a learning.
00:01:51.027 --> 00:01:51.929
So that's what our goal is.
00:01:51.929 --> 00:01:52.871
That's wonderful.
00:01:52.871 --> 00:01:54.465
