We have people in each building who assist one another--but nothing
official in place.  At one time we did have "site responders" (teachers
or associates) who did the tech. help.  This was in place when I first
started here . . .  but with the upgrade to OS X . . .  not everybody in
those "positions" were/are quite as apt as they used to be, so that kind
of went away as we upgrades things.  MOST people seem to have the
skills/know how to try some quick fixes . . .  those that don't either
ask other staff members or wait for me when my to do list whittles down,
which sometimes takes a while.  But if they're OK with that so am I.  I
also have 2 building secretaries who help me out with JMC things when I
need it, which helps.  But they do it because they like me, not because
of job description type thing. :-)  (that's the story I'm sticking
with-LOL)

 

When I first took the tech. job over the HS had student assistants.  I
don't do that anymore.  While they were good kids and trustworthy . . .
I still ran into issues of them "suping" things up/"tweaking" without
the maturity/understanding to realize we're all part of a larger
network/system.

Same here.  I really don't have an associate either but I have a few teachers 
that are very good with the technology in each of our building.  Also our Dean 
of Students is always up to date with their technology.  And we also have a 
secretary that does help out at the elementary building but just does a little 
bit when she can.  Nothing major like Karl's got.

I don't have an associate per-se she is hired as a secretary.  She is
half time and she helps with a variety of things.  There is not a hard
and fast job description, but she helps with Web updates, Project
EASIER, Student password resets, she does a little front-line trouble
shooting (like is it plugged in), she does a lot with JMC, creates
documents and reports for me and proofs things that I need to send
out.  Actually without her I would never be able to twitter or check
facebook during the day ;)  This is my second here with a person in
this capacity and she was hired to help when I took on curriculum
duties so she does help a lot with those as well. Lance if you need
anything more formal just drop me a note.
