The Geek\’s Lab

Back towards the beginning of the year, I was offered a position with the school district’s central office.

Needless to say, I accepted and no longer run “The Lions’ Lab” but will maintain this blog and its edu/tech focus.

I’ve gone from running the lab and maintaining the PCs in one school to overseeing the hardware and software maintenance and support needs of 12 schools and various offices around the district. I’ve quite enjoyed the new position and do, at times, miss my old school. However, I think this is going to help me keep up with the latest in technology and its place in the education field.

The 2007/2008 school year is about to be underway.

Look for lots of additions to this blog.  Thanks to EduBlogs.org and coffee…

Welcome to The Lion’s Lab. I am “Mr.” Andy. I’ve been a computer lab technician for 4 years now.

What is a computer lab technician, exactly?

I’m glad you asked.

It’s my job to take care of just about every computer here at our school, which is a lot since we have Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. In the computer lab, we have about 25 computers. It’s my job to take care of the computers, the software that’s on the computers, and a lot of other things — most of which are related to the computers in some way.

Why blog?

I started this blog to share a lot of ideas or tips and solutions that I’ve learned over the years. I also thought that this would be a good way to meet other that worked with education and/or technology.
