How do we keep our grades and tests safe from students who are working on maintaining our network?
The Networking Academy tests are to be kept on a separate Zip cartridge and inserted in the Cisco Micro Webserver only on test day, and then removed. Also, it is assumed that any secure data within the school is kept on a computer that has security installed on it, such as user ID and password protection.
Do students do any wire pulling in this class?
Yes, students pull wire in the lab and within the school if union and insurance issues allow it. The students should get as much experience in this area as possible.
I am a high school student and I want this curriculum offered at my school; how can I get one started?
To get an academy started in your school, talk to your school’s computer teacher, IS manager, principal, or vice-principal. Direct them to the Web site (VCP-310) to get more information and to fill out the form to apply to become a Cisco Networking Academy.
I am a post-high school student and want to take these classes; how can I?
Call your local community colleges (computer science, career training, computer networking departments) to see if they are a Cisco Networking Academy. If not, tell them they should be one and direct them to the Web site 642-845
