    I teach high school students through CertMaster Learn. 1. Is there any way to export the list of vocabulary for a particular lesson? For example, lesson 7A of 1102 has 49 words for my students to review and it would be nice to export them for another review game or quiz. 2. Can the vocabulary...

    Reading vs studying vs hands-on

    It's been a year since my initial posting and I'm currently working hard to get out of my teaching assignment. I've given it 4.5 years. So much has not gone well and the pace of each of the certs I have been tasked with (ITF+, A+, Network+) is beyond what the students or I can handle. If you...

    Certification preparation resources (Reddit negativity)

    I would love to get your feedback. Why on the Reddit for CompTIA is there so much negativity toward official learning resources? Why does everyone almost always recommend Dion and Messer? So many of us are trying to teach to students and I can't help wonder if I should be using different...

    HS Teacher

    Finally, I found someone who teaches how I do! I have a four-year program and the first is one of those fun basics of all things IT (Google workplace projects, 3D printing, keyboard practice, the 14 basic parts of a PC, looking inside a pc, etc.). I then have my second years to the ITF+, and I...
