WHY THIS SPOT?: It's less that Lionel wants the position and more that he feels he should take it. Partly because he's talented -- he's unquestionably skilled with all types of Muggle technology -- but mostly for Mr. Qualls. He has a care/pity/appreciation for the man... er, ghost. He feels a genuine closeness to him after all their time spent together in the lab. And while Lionel likes the guy, Mr. Qualls definitely could use some help.
IDEAS?: Lionel spends a ton of time in the computer lab working on his own projects. When students interrupt to ask him for help. he first checks to see if they've gone to Mr. Qualls already. They have? Okay, fine. He'll stop what he's doing to help you. Actually, you know what? It might just be faster if he does it for you instead of teaching you how it's done. Boom, there's your website. Ta-da, you photocopied your butt. Great, now he can go back to his project. And for the love of God, please nobody pull the plug on his computer or shred his notes.
However, he does set aside time specifically for teaching. He thinks Muggle tech has the capability to revolutionize and upend traditional wizardry, so he wants to really encourage those who are passionate about the field to dream big. I can see him running a tech incubator of sorts, where students pitch their ideas to him, he picks the most promising, and then he helps get their "start-up" off the ground.
Journal posts, pcal slots, IC/OOCs, all that jazz too, I promise.
