Kevork,<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">We
have 4 full time technicians which is about right for a school of our size and
the ratio you mentioned. Believe me they are constantly running for one reason
or another. They are very good and try hard to keep me informed of issues but
they cant be everywhere, everyday either. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">They
all ensure that the network is running smoothly and do the obvious tasks like
paper in printers, check sign in sheets for issues with computers. However,
there are times when tasks take longer than expected and things get
overlooked.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">My
point here is that I am sure all schools have these issues and it would be
interesting to know how other schools handle protocols and procedures with
staff using ICT resources.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

agree with all that has been said! It is a huge role and all the tasks you
have mentioned are part of my role description! I would like to add another
task; policing the use and care of ICT resources. (Another task to the
endless list of duties!) Some staff expect equipment to be working properly,
but are not prepared to follow procedures to ensure that all resources are
looked after. With 7 computer labs over 2 campuses and 6 laptop trolleys it
is a difficult task to keep track of all these
resources.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">The
number of times I have checked labs to ensure that there are enough chairs,
computer stations are in order, removed rubbish, switched off screens, data
projectors & computers, checked that printers are not jammed etc. Not to
mention keeping track of the laptop trolleys to ensure that all laptops are
connected to power cables. Only this week one trolley had the main power
board completely vandalized with the main cord ripped and the steel prongs
which go into the power point completely bent back! Checking who booked the
trolley showed that there was no booking. The sign in sheets were also not
filled. What options are there? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">I
am thinking that I may have a random audit of rooms and resources at certain
times of the day?? But then again, what do I say to the teachers concerned?
You cant use the resources again? A very difficult situation! I dont
believe it is my job to discipline staff.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

to change schools and step back and just go back to classroom teaching

who doesn't have a life, other interests or a young family to do this role
justice with the time allowance given. I really miss not being able to
play with the technology in a manner that enhances my teaching. I am too
busy administrating, budgeting, teaching others, trying to do justice to
my Yr 12 Physics classes and raise 3 young'ns to have the fun I used to. I
hope that by returning full time to the classroom I can re-kindle the
