Teachers even pull the Techies out of class sometimes when they have a problem they need fixed right away. Because the K-12 classes are housed on one campus with two buildings on one square block, Techies are able to service the entire district without leaving campus. Their services are also known throughout the community. Members of the community will call in with technical problems and bring in equipment for the Techies to look at. Many times it's a problem the students can fix.
Techies have a wide variety of responsibilities to the district.
They are called to set up computers, troubleshoot network problems, install software, repair hardware, and offer technology assistance throughout the school. They also conduct maintenance activities such as replacing bad Internet cords and cleaning mice. In addition to responding to tech help requests, they offer training to students and staff and help maintain the district Web site. It's just kind of hit and miss, you just learn as you go really. Aside from the technology skills students learn as a result of this experience, they also learn to work together as a team.
