Awe-Inspiring Performances!

Looking for some good news this morning, I thought  I would take a moment to recognize the recent accomplishments of my students.  I even enlisted the help of a thesaurus for a fresh set of superlative adjectives to describe them!

Tyler and Dustin have both now passed the two exams needed to achieve their CompTia A+ Industry certification.  This is a big achievement for them both and I am very proud of how quickly they have completed this.  It shows a tremendous dedication to their studies.  They are both now hard at work on their Network+ so you will be seeing them again soon.

Dustin is wearing his lucky shirt.
 He wore it on both days that he tested.











I have several more that are about to test, so stay tuned for more announcements here.  :)

Have a great day.

Rock Stars!

Rockin'

Congratulations to my first A+ testers of the Fall semester!  Eddie and Tyler have passed the 801 exam and are halfway to earning their A+ certification.  (Notice the "Rockin'" Emoticon Eddie chose for the occasion.)

Once students have completed the A+ curriculum, I have them study together, going over the practice exams, peer-teaching, and utilizing each student's strengths to help each other with the areas that they need additional practice.  I find that this not only helps clarify the material, but helps my students gain confidence for the exam.

Overall, I am very proud of these two.  I am excited to see them accomplish new goals and I look forward to seeing their classmates follow in their footsteps!
