Having just come back from an embc conference, from the mouth of the embc managing director (speaking of conversation from 6 months ago) - "There are not enough professionally qualified ICT teachers, what we need is a recession to drive them from industry into teaching."

Don't you just love people like that?

Probably should make clear that someone said it to the director of embc not other way around...

As said in other thread got good mention from Mike so welcome to anyone who joined us from embc conference.

Wasn't it Andy Hvass (Syntetrix) who said that?
Could be wrong, lot of people said stuff

Ross, I didn't make it clear, shouldn't post when my brain's gone to bed.

Anyway, do you really think it's such a good idea to have ICT teachers that are ex-industry experts? A, they will always think they know the best, B, they'll try and bypass security and C, let's face it are they gonna be happy with the pay?

A thought...

Hello everyone.

The basics first, get them out of the way, i go by the name Martin and I'm an IT Technician at The Harwich School down in wouldn't you know it Harwich.

I've gone in there as an employee after initially being a student, before working at the school i was a web developer/administrator.

I know my way round a computer or two but I'm still in the Proficient stage, not yet an expert, hopefully edugeek will be the place i find answers to those burning questions i might be challenged with.
