witch Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 A two part question... Can we encourage people to put their location in when they sign up, and Would it be possible to have a main list which identified members(only by edugeek name, of course) and locations so that we can use it as a resource for getting help locally?
Ric_ Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I did go through a stage of badgering people about this... you will always get some that insist on hiding or putting a silly name in the location box.
witch Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks mortstar, I do know about this but not everyone does it - in fact it seems that most do not. A list would be easier for quick access anyway
MkII Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Hmm - thought I'd posted on this thread this morning... ! I think we could encourage members to put something. Even a very rough idea of where you are is better than nothing - say 'North East' or 'South Wales' for example.
User3204 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Some of us want an "appearance" of anonymity... ..so we can say disparaging remarks about our LEA / School / Boss, without it getting back to them..

witch Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 I do understand the need for anonymity but I would have thought that a county name would be OK unless it is really really really small!
MkII Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 If I put my county then everyone here knows it's me. It's not like in a city - here we have 13 high schools in the whole county.
witch Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Still, mark, at least in your case you can put a country so that anyone who wanted help would at least be able to narrow it down a bit! Why couldnt you be one of the others? And why not use a less identifiable name!!
User3204 Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 @WITCH: County ? What County ? I don't live/work in a county. That should narrow it down to an MBC, and there's only a few of them.
MkII Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 And why not use a less identifiable name!! Heh - yeah... my real name is Earl
MyDejaVu Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 well mark, at least you could place England, Wales Scotland, Ireland or elsewhere, you are part of the management team in edugeek, so everybody says the boses should put the example , I dont know why I keep thinking of that phrase for the prince (Do as I say and not as I Do) eh
