I am a teacher of information technology at Weaver Academy. I hold a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Also, I hold a Master’s in Applied Math. As well I am A+, NET+, CCNA, and CCAI certified. I enjoy teaching the Cisco CCNA wireless and IT Essentials classes.

Cisco Networking I • It is the basic networking education to furnish students with knowledge and skills that can be applied toward entry-level careers in IT networking. It is a blended program with both online and classroom learning components and an engaging curriculum that can be delivered through a variety of teaching methodologies.

Cisco Networking II • This course introduces the fundamental principles of networks and their operation from an industry vendor's perspective. Emphasis is placed on the hands-on skills needed to design, set-up, maintain networks, install cabling, and configure vendor-specific routers and switches. Technical writing and binary mathematical skills are also emphasized. The expectation of this course sequence is for students to be better prepared for the appropriate industry credentialing exam. Work-based strategies appropriate for this course are job-shadowing, internships, cooperative education, and apprenticeship. Hands-on experiences.

Cisco Networking III • Through hands-on experiences, this course introduces the concepts of wide area networks, advanced router configurations, switched networks, VLANS, and simple vendor-specific network management protocols. Presentation and communication skills needed by a network engineer also will be emphasized. The expectation of this course sequence is for students to be better prepared for the appropriate industry credentialing exam. Work-based strategies appropriate for this course are internships, cooperative education, and apprenticeship. Hands-on experiences.

Cisco Security • The Cisco CCNA Security curriculum equips students with the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for entry-level security specialist careers. Target students include IT professionals who want to enhance their core routing and switching skills and students enrolled in technology degree programs at institutions of higher education.

This course is a hands-on, career-oriented e-learning solution emphasizing practical experience. CCNA Security is a blended curriculum with both online and classroom learning. Students who enroll in CCNA Security are expected to have CCNA-level networking concepts knowledge and skills, along with basic PC and Internet navigation skills.

While there are no required course prerequisites, students are encouraged to complete the CCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration curricula to acquire the fundamental CCNA-level routing and switching skills needed for success in this course. CCNA Security provides a next step for CCNA Discovery or CCNA Exploration students who want to expand their CCNA-level skill set to prepare for a career in network security.

Computer Engineering Technology I & Computer Engineering II

IT Essentials: PC Hardware and Software covers the fundamentals of computer hardware and software as well as advanced concepts. Students who complete this course will be able to describe the internal components of a computer, assemble a computer system, install an operating system, and troubleshoot using system tools and diagnostic software. Students will also be able to connect to the Internet and share resources in a network environment. New topics included in this version include laptops and portable devices, wireless connectivity, security, safety and environmental issues, and communication skills.

Honors CET 2: Prepares the student to earn their CompTIA A+ certification. Hands-on lab activities will continue to be an essential element of the course. In support of this, virtual learning tools are integrated into this course. The Virtual Laptop and Virtual Desktop are stand-alone tools designed to supplement classroom learning and provide an interactive "hands-on" experience in learning environments with physical equipment.
