The almost completed table is available by clicking HERE. I still need to connect up 3 of Professor Messer's videos with the CompTIA learning content.

Windows 10 will be relevant and with us for a very long time (10/14/2025).

Hi Nikki. A great place to get a headstart is by following the instructions detailed in a post I made yesterday that details a proposal I submitted for the 3CS Conference. You can reach that post by clicking HERE. It details a faculty driven project that is creating a course that utilizes and...

Dana, I hope to see you and other CIN participants at the conference. FYI, the proposal description I submitted is below. I'm looking for additional faculty to sign up for this effort as a project contributor. If you'd join, email me at [email protected]. Proposal: This session details an...

So, who among us is planning to attend the Community College Cyber Summit scheduled for November 5-7 in Dayton, Ohio?

Yes. Rick, this is a fast pace industry. The CE requirement results in two obvious changes. First, the certification customer must keep up with industry changes. Second, CompTIA must update its exam objectives to keep up with industry changes. The SK0-004 was launched 6 years ago. That's a...

Too bad it is identified as: The CompTIA Server+ certification is considered good for life and does not need to be renewed. That's at least my feeling. Thoughts?

This brings us full circle to the place where I'm located that will likely see a reduction in the need for technicians having the skills to operate inside a data center. As pointedly detailed in an article titled "Top 5 places to build a new data center," Southern California doesn't meet the...

My problem is I can only utilize "preemptive multitasking" and as we all know that isn't real multitasking.

Sadly I won't be able to join tomorrow's session. Too many CompTIA events at the same time on my calendar (see below). Fortunately, I'll catch the recording. Academic Partner Meet-up Webinar, June 2021 Tuesday, June 8⋅12:00 – 1:00pm Location: Webcast  Description:Thank you for registering...

To prove this idea is working, Jonathan Weiss (see his posting above) joined in this effort and spent time and effort aligning the Messer videos to the Guide's lessons. I did a little cleanup (mostly reformatting the content on the Canvas lesson pages) and that work is done. The attached table...

In my effort to create structured learning content in a Canvas Learning Management System for a class this fall where I'm utilizing CompTIA's Official Student Guide and Labs for the Security+ (SY0-601), I'm planning to direct students to Professor Messer's videos that relate to this...

Email me at [email protected] and I'll provide you with a link for the Canvas course I'm building that will incorporate supplemental materials. Yesterday in a back and forth conversation I'm having with the people at CompTIA, I wrote: I wanted to share with you the "work in progress" effort...

Ah showing your age. I remember going to Egg Head to get some new software for my MS-DOS computer, and finding a shelf and a half of available choices. Damn, I hoped I'd never have to use a mouse and a GUI. Best solution at the time was a trackball.

I think it is safe to say providing students with additional quality resources is a safe bet, as long as they are priced right (perhaps free). I suspect most of us point to is Professor Messer. (For example his videos on the SY0-601 exam, available at...

I started a discussion pointing to the TTT for the Server+ new exam, and identifying the CIN site.

I will start out by pointing to one simple fact. Performance-based questions are difficult to create and in my opinion difficult to measure, in terms of evaluating and determining if they effectively measure knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs in education speak). I recall a while back taking...

Of potential interest is the Report issued by the California Cybersecurity Integration Center (a California Office of Emergency Services department). The list of recommended mitigation steps is useful in identifying steps potential ransomware targets (just about any entity) should take. Enjoy...

The following is directly from the syllabus in one of the courses I'm teaching this Spring and is a non-optional required section in the course syllabus: Academic Honesty Policy You should be familiar with the Academic Honesty Policy at Santa Ana College. Introduction Students at Santa Ana...
