How many Edugeek users work in a FE College

[AM_LHS]

Hi All,

I have recently moved from working in a secondary school to a FE College.

I have used edugeek when I was working in the school and found it very useful. I wanted to find out how many of edugeek users work in a FE college, so that that I can determine how relevant edugeek will be to me and others in a FE college environment.

 

Thanks

Yes its a Further Education College.

 

I put in FE to distinguish this has a term for a different type of college compared to sixth form colleges as part of a school, where mostly the ethos and environment is still like a school.

 

Also the term FE College helps to clear up any confusion to schools who also now have "college" attached to part of their name i.e. sports college , language college, science college etc.

I personally do not like this idea of schools having "college" as part of their name because they are a school at the end of the day and it is a bit misleading in a trade description sort of scenario to call themselves a college.

I use to but now back in a secondary. I do miss the much more relaxed attitudes of the staff and non teaching staff malarkey.

I think edugeek is great, how ever it seems very much geared up with information and people who work in a school environment rather than a more of a broader education environment.

Can any one suggest a similar site as edugeek which is more of target audience to FE college environments.

 

Thanks

I think that's just a matter of demographics - more schools than colleges = more people working in schools.

 

FWIW I work in a Uni and find the site very useful.
