Interesting list. Sounds like it would create a much more fruitful and honest discussion than the interviews I went on for my current position…

On the first question, I would look into revising the wording. As its currently stated, you’re implying that you’re concerned about the candidate’s experience with a certain type of hardware – even though that has little to do with the end user experience.

I’m guessing that you’re more interested in the operating system the candidate is familiar with. In that case, PC is a somewhat non-descript term. Windows isn’t the only operating system, and I’d be concerned if a candidate (or the interviewer) wasn’t familiar with the option of Linux as an operating system.

Which leads into a question that I’d add to the list:

How familiar are you with open source software, and what is the last piece of open source software that you used?

At some point, you and/or your students are going to come up against a need for new software. This presents a few options (some of which might not be used in the classroom, but your students certainly might use them at home):

1. Purchase new software
2. Pirate a copy of the software
3. Find an open source alternative to proprietary software

If you’re going to be teaching your students to use technology – and at a 1:1 school I think that you would be doing regardless of your content area – then you should be able to point students to effective (and legal) alternatives to option #2.
