A Brief Introduction
Written on October 9, 2005 – 8:42 pm | by Sahmeepee
About me:
I’m a network manager in a state secondary school in the UK. My crew of two make up the rest of the school’s ICT Support team, looking after 600+ devices and 2000 bodies. I’ve had some experience of managing Linux servers in my distant past and Mac OSX clients more recently, but my current environment is all Microsofty (not always by choice).
I’m interested in free, libre software and the benefits it can bring to schools (and taxpayers). Many of the free applications we use are in the excellent Edugeek Essential Software List so take a look there if you’re interested. I’m also interested in extending pupils’ access to learning outside of lesson time and ideally outside of the school gates. Another area in need of some R&D is giving staff more self-service access to IT: a knowledge base they want to use, a place they can share useful information with colleagues and pupils, a useful set of starting points in each subject area and (ungh) the skills and confidence to attempt new things with IT.
I’m in danger of not sticking to the title, so that’s all!

Welcome to edublogs :)
Sorry it’s a bit late coming but it looks liek you’ve made yourself at home, would you like to be a featured blog sometime?
Cheers, James
Thanks James! Feel free to feature this place whenever you want (although there’s not that much to see here just yet :) )
The site is fantastic. Now that you have the “Latest Updated Edublogs” sidebar on the front page it’s a great resource for looking at education from a global perspective.
