Seb1780 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I'm being let out for a day to the ASCL "Using Data Better" conference tomorrow. Any other Edugeek DM's going? It'd be nice to put some faces to names if there are.
WayTooTricky Posted October 6, 2015 Author Posted October 6, 2015 Blimey Seb, "let out" ! Me, I'm lucky if they unchain me from my desk long enough to go for a pee!
CAM Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Not me, the only data manager's club I'm in is this group.
Emm Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Not me and I know exactly what you mean WayTooTricky!
hschram Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 I have a ball and a chain as well as a guard dog in case I leave the desk .... : (
Seb1780 Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Well, clearly DM's in the wild are a rare thing! There were three of us there, all under the watchful eye of our SLT lead. TBH, you didn't miss much - I've learned far more from this forum than I'll ever learn in a hotel room at the less salubrious end of the District Line.
CAM Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 I think we'd be better off organizing informal stuff at the weekends. That's an idea...
bobsmith Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 involving a game of paintball first perhaps? vent some of the frustrations of working in education!
Jenis Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 @CAM I've also found the Data Managers facebook group super helpful, people post there really regularly. It's created and run by SISRA, but it's more of general DM group now. I'm quite lucky, my trust data director is good at making sure we all stay connected as a group (exams officers as well) and help each other out.
CAM Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Might take a look at that. The problem is Facebook. D:
tombry Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 yeah I don't want my personal facebook attached to that...would be interested though.
WayTooTricky Posted October 9, 2015 Author Posted October 9, 2015 Make a 2nd facebook account for work. I'm a member of the group and of the exams officer one. Sometimes it's hard to get away from worky things.
