WHY We're creating this course 

Every year thousands of great jobs go unfilled. If we want students to envision how exciting their future in technology can be, or learn the basics, we need a better way.

For too long, teachers haven’t had the right technology to teach technology in an effective, engaging way that's up-to-date, improves outcomes, and saves time for both students and teachers.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN This Course

This engaging, hands-on training will build confidence through a streamlined learn-by-doing experience:

  • Multiple types of short interactive videos, presentations, lab simulations, and assessments
  • Students will also have the opportunity to achieve a TestOut certification with a digital badge, to start building their resumes
You'll be able to conveniently teach a broad array of technology concepts, manage classes and grades, and administer exams for in-person, hybrid, and online teaching environments.
