There has never been broad buy-in relative to industry recognition for forensics certifications, other than the recognized vendor certifications (specifically Encase or FTK). Best to provide "forensics" evidence of this truth. A while back (ISC)2 had their CCFP (Certified Cyber Forensics...

With the welcome assistance of two community college faculty and a high school teacher.....

It would be very helpful to have students walk into an A+ class, already having the ITF+ knowledge.

Lee, are you out here in California (Pacific Time Zone)? If so, we ought to do lunch....

What "floats my boat" evidences itself in a page from a book written by the former Vice-Chancellor of the California Community College System. The bottom line is we need to focus on drawing potential students to the fields of IT and cybersecurity.

Most of the teaching I've done is through taxpayer-funded colleges. Where my time was paid for by taxpayers effectively justifies treating learning products as "public domain" resources.

I'm happy to say that all of my fall semester grades are in, and I'm enjoying a workload for this month that is almost nothing. I am teaching a single course in digital forensics that for some unknown reason has only one student, requiring adjustment since a number of the assignments are...

Ditto from me....

A nice way to illustrate subnetting is defining a particular need, like a router to router network, where all you want to end up with is two valid host IP addresses for the subnetwork (255.255.255.252). Example: 172.16.0.0 = Network Address 172.16.0.1 = Host 1 172.16.0.2 = Host 2 172.16.0.3 =...

Rick, et al. I'm heading into the end of the semester, evaluating what's next. Frankly, I'm missing the physical classroom, not seeing the light bulb go on in the eyes of my students. Zoom, while better than nothing, just doesn't cut it. I'm teaching a single class in the spring, down from the...

Concluding teaching a semester-long Security+ course next week, I'm pleased with the result of both the CompTIA Student Guide and the CompTIA labs. For the spring semester, I'm utilizing the CySA+ resources provided by CompTIA and I've been working in advance, making sure that their content...

Calbright is unique to the California Community College system composed of 116 colleges, in that its focus is on career and technical education, something other colleges include as part of their mission but are also focused on student transfers to 4-year colleges and universities.

Nikki, I've elevated you to the "teacher" role. Let me know if there is anything else you need. I'm working on a similar effort that is aligned with the ITF+ certification. Currently placing their labs into the grant created content (public domain) that a group of us (me, two full-time community...

I am teaching a college course this fall that is a dual enrollment course, with most students currently in high school. The class is designed to utilize CompTIA Security+ learning content (specifically their student guide and their labs). With the help of a couple of CIN members, we've developed...

Guys, I took the lead on it, and finish it up tomorrow (see my blog posting). Great things happen to me when I volunteer. It has been an enjoyable experience. The CompTIA payback, evidences itself on my "Meals on Wheels" website (see Teresa's donation). Thanks CompTIA......

Having experienced substantial trainer/teaching opportunities in both the 5-day boot camp-style format and the academic format that dates back before CompTIA's certifications existed, while I've found it possible to lightly cover their exam objectives, I think we have to be honest in assessing...

Stephen, the occupations listed on the registration page are a bunch of C-Suite guys and not your typical job we in CIN hold. Interesting.....

Guys, I've share this attachment with Stephen and others at CompTIA, but I think it goes a long way at explaining the difference we can all make as CIN members. A while back there was a posting in the CIN Jobs section about mentoring for a non-profit. Since oftentimes I'm no longer gainfully...

The attached provides utilization of the Presentation Guide for a Security+ Course I'm teaching this fall semester. Note that I expanded it to include the weeks of instruction along with the start date for each week. In its original form, the presentation guide is designed for a 5-day format...
