Everybody knows everything about computers. After all, kids today are "digital natives." Except that there's more to information technology that just apps and Minecraft.

Get the details from our video walkthrough.

If you missed his Oct. 27 webinar, then there still time to catch up online. It's the perfect length for your next lunch break.
What is a professional network, and how can you use one to bolster your IT career? It's vital for everyone who works in IT, and especially for those preparing to work in IT, to understand the benefits of professional networking. Like they say, "It's not what you know, it's who you know."
You learned to cut and style hair. You're good at it. You have a job doing it. But what if the world needs you to be a youth pastor instead? Or instead of that, maybe you're supposed to teach IT skills. Life has never been just one thing for Tammi Cooke.
We appreciate having the opportunity to work with so many outstanding educators and we appreciate everything you do for your students! Please reach out to us with any questions you might have. We are always here to help.
