<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>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 can’t be everywhere, everyday either. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>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:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

and it would be interesting to know how other schools handle protocols and

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:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>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:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>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 can’t use the resources again?” A
very difficult situation! I don’t believe it is my job to discipline
staff.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have decided to change schools and step back and just go back to classroom

someone 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 spark and catch up on
actually using developing technologies for teaching rather than just reading
about them and hoping someone else will have a play with them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hi Litsa,<br>
<br>
It sounds like you have a truly integrated team working very well
together rather than pushing the elearning person out the front to do it all. I
think that is the key and the balance sounds spot on at your school. It was
presumptuous of me to assume otherwise .. sorry ...:))<br>
Thanks again for sharing the job description.<br>
I do have a question about the journey from the inception of the elearning job
to the present. Was it necessary to deconstruct and reconstruct the curriculum
in each area or was it a stepwise refinement process to move towards the
embedding of learning technologies ?<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
<br>
Thanks again<br>

e-learning coordinators do ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi everyone,<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Sorry for any cross posts and being
off topic perhaps, but:<span class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
<br>
My school is creating a new position
for an "e-learning coordinator" for next year.<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Just out of interest, what do
existing e-learning coordinators do in other schools ?<span
class=apple-converted-space> </span><br>
<br>
Run the moodle, and school website,
organize ICT PD for staff on podcasting, vodcasting, and other things, Review
software and technology, formulate strategic plans, team-teach helping teachers
out with software and technology, and ??????<br>
<br>
<br>
