Is there any possible way for a job “doing technology training for library staff” to creep? I’m not sure there’s any place for it to creep into!

I’m hopefully meeting next week with some of our ed tech folks to bring me into the loop and vice versa. I suspect we have a lot of potential overlap. And I’m sure I’ll blog about that :)

The advisory group is about 10 folks right now, all volunteer. I am considering it’s shape, especially as related to determining /assessing/delivering training for technology competencies moves to the forefront. I’m planning on monthly meetings, if needed.

Are you the only EdTEch person now? Does that leave you room to do much beyond the LMS?

This has given me a lot of ideas for my new job in educational technology. And I imagine you will find (or have already found) that as more people know about and understand your new position, they’ll have training requests for you and pretty soon you’ll feel like a DJ at a party full of drunk singing people, who all want to hear their favorite songs.

What I really like about your list is that gives you (and others) some parameters, so hopefully you can avoid job scope creep. That’s one of my biggest worries with my new gig since it doesn’t come with any set description.

How big is the advisory committee you work with and how often does it meet?
