Not quiet at this time of year.

 

Lots of online exams.

For some reason, I find myself responsible for creating videos for the Y11 Leavers Dinner.

I have already completed full ict audits. Website is done by snr technician. We've got mdt for building laptops/pc's - applications that needed updating have been done. I have been stuyding for microsoft certs especially win 7 as we may be upgrading to win 7 over or after summer. No word on if we getting new machines over summer.

 

One thing i am interested in doing is print management. Staff waste way too much paper. I had installed papercut logger to the print server back in december and currently were printing on average 50,000 sheets a month. This might not be accurate as staff/pupil can cancel print job in the middle but still heck of alot.

How big a school? 50,000 sheets isn't much depending on the size of the school.

 

Personally I used to lookup new technologies and have a play with them. I've built intranets etc

I went from Papercut logger to NG, saved us an absolute fortune. See if you can draw up a CBA for buying that, very worthwhile.

Ahhh, quiet times, I remember them. Back in the good old days when I was care free, could play with coding, knock up a system just for hell of it with full knowledge it would more than likely never be used... memories!
