dave.81 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Now this may seem a little odd but what do you call your department, as in the support side of it. Our teachers are a little slow and when i sign any memo etc with IT Department they just take it to mean the ICT Teacher and our head wants to move away from that. So he's asked me to call my department(totalling just me) by some other name, he suggested network support but i'm not sure. Any ideas:P
tech_guy Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Well, we have an ICT Department (Teachers, TA's, etc) and an IT Department (us lowly pond-life technicians) and we seem to manage....
russdev Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 ICT Support is best option that is what we call ourselfs here... Russell
MkII Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Technical(/testicle) Support (but then you get everything with a plug to fix) We call ourselves 'IT' or 'IT Support' if we want to give the full name. We're supposedly part of the tech faculty, but our remit is wider, covering the whole school, having 2 years ago enveloped technology.
dave.81 Posted August 31, 2007 Author Posted August 31, 2007 See i'm with you both i dont see what is so hard to understand that IT support and ICT are 2 different things. Being the in same office and them being teachers i guess makes it hard for them to grasp lol.
DSapseid Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 We are called ICT Team but they have just changed our jobs to be ICT/AV technician so we now get involved with lighting and audio for plays etc in the hall
GrumbleDook Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Technical Support Team here. aka Tony's Minions!
Optics Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 IT Dept here, although like most of you we tend to get calls involving anything with a plug.
tech_guy Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 IT Dept here, although like most of you we tend to get calls involving anything with a plug. We were asked by the head if we could fix his treadmill at home..... 8O
Diello Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 IT Services Whenever anyone asks for ICT, I send them to the ICT teachers... they generally come back pretty quick rather confused!!!
tech_guy Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 We love it when the new year 7's get sent up to the server room to see the 'ICT Technicians' and we tell them we're the cleaners... We're 'IT Technicians' not 'ICT Technicians'!!!
Joedetic Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 As I've said I /think/ we were ICT services... but the C stands for communication and seeing as we had a lot to do with the phones, the website, dong powerpoint presentations for school events etc I think the communication bit was justified. Everyone was just too lazy to say the C so it just defaulted out to IT Services anyway.
Oops_my_bad Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 ICT sounds a bit, well, er.. gay doncha think? Much prefer just IT as it sounds more business like (and it seperates the men from the boys)
webman Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 We're currntly ICT Support but I personally prefer IT. How about you call yourself "ICT and Electrical Technical Support Department". That'll annoy people
russdev Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Must admit listening to my answer phone I used IT Support.... Russell
john Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Systems Department as we well deal with many systems, electric, TV, lights, plumbing, painting etc the list is endless As for the C in ICT, our SMT seems to think it stands for Info Computer Technology
stephenleak Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 Odd. We use ICT, 'cos we look after the network and also the 'phone system which also runs over the network. The teaching department is IT.
