Labanised Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Hi all, I'm currently working as a Data Officer in an independent school in SW London. I'm about to interview for a Data Manager role at a state school and I'm really excited but, nervous as anything. I'm way out of my comfort zone so I'm really glad I found this site. In for a penny...
Labanised Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks Witch, I'm excited as the DM role is a step up and this site was highly recommended.
19dan89 Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 Hello everyone, Just thought I'd make a short introduction. I just got my first job after uni as an ICT Technician in a Studio school, I'm looking forward to starting next week. I found this place a couple of weeks ago and it looks like it will be invaluable. If/when I need help, I know where to come! - - - Updated - - -
jswanson Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Hi all, I'm an ICT Technician at a secondary school in Somerset. I've used this site for some time but had never signed up, just thought maybe it's about time I did J
Xebec Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Hi I am the IT department in a small secondary school in the west of Cornwall and after visiting this site for over two years, I thought I'd better say hello! Andy "He who dies with the most toys, WINS!!!"
fairm010 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 You are the IT department? The whole department? GG good sir!
Xebec Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Yep, I'm the whole dept. Technically I'm an assistant network manager as we are apparently not a large enough school to need a fully blown network manager! Edited July 11, 2014 by Xebec

Well you aren't alone on here anyway. I joined edugeek as the IT department of my school... there are many of us in the same boat on here. Edugeek is a lifesaver for loan techs. The advantage of being a department of one is that you can use whatever job title suits the occasion; Network Manager when you need to pull rank and "just a technician" when you need to get rid of sales-drones

We need more

tom_walters Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Howdy all, I started a tiny company called Rocket Education (Rocket Education) and am building a new product for tutors/students for assignment management. And as a professional geek I want to make sure I know what to do to keep IT departments happy! Tom

Marts Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Hi There My name is Marts. I'm IT technician with lots of experience. I really enjoy my job and helping people make a difference. In my spare time, I am app developer and a sysop for a gaming community.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Hi @Marts Welcome aboard, grab a brew, help yourself to an eduhobnob and tell us more.
DeeleyNet Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I was a long time member(lurker) but rare contributor to edugeek, my Academy just squeezed through the doors of BSF and had a new build which completed in April 13. In the run up to a TUPE to the new managed IT service and my year working for them I've not visited Edugeek particularly often anymore. I have enjoyed working in the new managed service and probably would be happy to do so for a while longer however an opportunity has come up recently for me to apply for a vacant Data Manager position within the Academy. The pay is great and it's a chance to really carve out a career in what is an integral role so I hope things pan out in that respect, I've given what I believe is a strong interview yesterday and just await feedback next week. In light of the career change and as I appear to be locked out of my old account I'm starting again, the primary draw is when I came across the Edugeek Data manager group in preparing for my interview, but in looking over the site I also remembered what a great community this is.
adeeb1 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I just recently graduated from college, and during my four years there I was an IT technician, repairing software and hardware issues on laptops. Now I've started a small software company that aims to help students stay organized and excel in their studies. I am passionate about IT and am always trying to learn more and help others as well!
