    Induction...

    By fawkers,

    Well I’ve spent my first 3 days moving from pillar to post visiting every department in my new workplace watching (and even trying my hand) at almost every job in the company. I’ve seen how everyone interacts with IT and what it means to them in there day to day job. Its given me a good idea of where the issues lie and what are going to be the little day to day issues that I might have to sort out.
     
    Now how many of you had an induction like that? Do you think that going and seeing key people in your school and how they use systems would have helped you in your early days?

    Well I've landed my self a new job out in the private sector starting on Monday. If working in schools has tought me anything it's that things are almost not what they appear to be, and that stupidity if often the cause of many issues. I'm hoping that this new post will be slightly less of the stupid and allow me to get down to some productive rather than fire fighting work.
     
    I've been hanging around here since my first mentor introduced edugeek to me way back in 2007 (ok not that way back, but it feels like it), and it's been a really useful resource. Back then the site was aimed at the Educational IT Tech, it's been good to see that we are now not just a community for education but also for the wider community. I for one will be hanging around.
     
    As part of my move i'm going to blog my experience of moving into the 'real world' and see what lessons can be learnt and feed back to education.
     
    Who knows it might even be interesting....
