    Any Reason N10-009 Slides 99% word and no picture photo and graphic ? Very boring....hope can enhance!

    That's a key perspective, because we get so wrapped up in making presos that we think should impact our students by just seeing them that we forget that they can never replace what we bring.

    And to dog pile onto what @LynW and @Stephen Schneiter have said... I think slides are the tool of the individual - and they have to be tailored to the person using them to deliver the content. Sure, one can use stock or canned slides, but I have ALWAYS preferred to make my own. With slides...

    How to become CTT+ ?

    Actually, yes...yes you did. Lucky for you, there was still cake there...it's like a sheet cake at work that gets wiped out, with Milton standing there, complaining about how he didn't get a piece...

    YES! WINDOWS 3.1 IS STILL ALIVE!

    Southwest has been getting so much static over holding onto those old systems. You see it in the Government as well. One time, I had a requirement come up for a machine that had an 8-bit ISA port for an RS-232 control board for an old HVAC system. Just because it's old doesn't mean you just...

    CASP+ and Pentest+++

    You may have to reach out to your CompTIA Business Development Manager for access to materials for these things. They're not generally released, as it were.

    Ruh Roh...More Bad Press for Gemini AI

    Right there with you. I'm sitting in the General Session for Anthology Together 24 in Orlando and they're talking about how AI is even rewriting Moore's Law in capability. Like anything, it can be used for good or evil. And I guarantee, the use of AI aligns to the motivations of humanity...

    Ruh Roh...More Bad Press for Gemini AI

    This is why I am going to be on the trailing edge of the entire AI party. It really is a fundamental level of trust. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/gemini-ai-caught-scanning-google-drive-hosted-pdf-files-without-permission-user-complains-feature-cant-be-disabled

    How do you display your student's certs?

    I feel like I answered this question before. All my certifications go into a book - nothing on the wall. Never been one to display that stuff. I do have great pictures of Raymond Reddington and Darth Vader though.

    How do you display your student's certs?

    For some, it's a huge boon. There are folks that shy away from that.

    One might think, but it's always been a struggle for us to get those results in a consistent way. /r

    Labslim and Certmaster?

    I suspect that EVENTUALLY, there will be a complete merging of the products - that what was generally said last year at Summit. It seems the TestOut platform has been re-branded as CertMaster Perform, according to what we saw in the Net+ 009 training. I suspect we'll see some updates on how...
