Hi everyone. Found this site by accident and added it to my favorites. I manage 4 schools and help out the other techs sometimes. Pretty slow this time of year so I'm starting alot of pilot projects.

Found this site and i'm well impressed. I'm running a network in a sixth form in Leeds. 600 Workstations + too many servers :-)

New to this site, but not to IT in education.

Worked for over 11 years now as a techie in education, inbetween getting a degree in computing and informatics at uni (worked part-time as a technician in a school at the same time).

Have had various roles in secondary and primary education on the IT side - now network manager for a large primary school.

Sorry been posting without saying hi first (how rude!)

Hi I'm Steve from Wellingborough, Northants.
I'm currently an ICT Technician and Teaching Assistant working at St Mary's CEVA Primary School in Kettering.

We're hopefully looking at a new school in 2008/2009 so it's a very exciting time for us here in Kettering. (stay tuned for updates )

Anyway..... hello and thanks for having me

Cya soon

Hi, I'm Nick and I'm the Network Manager at St. Joseph's Convent School in Reading, an independent Catholic day school taking girls from age 3-18 and boys 3-7. The network is RM CC3-based with ~150 PCs and about 500 users. I am the only "hands on" techie in the school, however I work closely with the IT Co-ordinator.

I worked in a variety of IT jobs in industry before moving to education 4 years ago. I enjoy playing strategy computer games and watching Sci-Fi (does that make me an official geek?!). I got married last year, and have neither children nor pets.

How's that for an introduction?!

Hi

I am a newbie, <CAUTION> please handle with care.........

Ok, I am only a newbie to the School ICT thing, I have been in IT for over 12 years.

I have usually worked for smallish barn in a field type companies until about 6 years ago, then I worked for Daimler Chrysler UK Ltd (head office) in the IT department, and now I am intergrating myself to the world of ICT school life.

No doubt there will be many questions asked and I will do my best to offer what knowledge I have.

Hows that? do you want more? or less?
