Re: Tech titles and responsibilities

I find that often a person will have the same title as another person =
and have completely different job descriptions. =20

At Seven Hills, a prek-8 school with 360 students, we have:

Director of Technology (me) - Covers both the tech side and the =
education side. The position requires a teaching credential as well as =
a strong background in technology. The position oversees the others in =
the tech department.

Educational Technology Specialist - Was full time until this year, and =
their job was to support teachers in creating, implementing, and =
assessing integrated lessons. It is a credentialed teacher position. =
This year, because of budget issues, the position is half time and now =
supports middle school teachers, with Dir of Tech supporting K-5.

Technician - This is a full time position requiring a min. of an AA =
degree and strong tech background. They are responsible for covering =
the help desk, repairs, updates, imaging, etc. =20

We have not started doing online courses, and we don't see this as =
something that will happen in the near future.=20

What do these titles signify to you in terms of levels of responsibility =
and job description? Which of these do you have at your school? Others?

Tech Support Specialist
Technology Integrator
Technology Coordinator
Director of Academic Technology
Academic Technology Coordinator
Associate Director of Technology
Director of Technology


Who at your school is responsible for your course management system, ie =
Moodle, Blackboard, etc?

Is your school developing your own online courses? Is someone at your =
school examining online courses offered elsewhere to augment your =
curriculum? If so, what is that person's title?

Many thanks for your responses.
