I hope the students get into it. These kids still talk about the year they assembled PC's, so I think I'm in good shape!

We'll cover network topology, cabling (or not in the case of wireless), and network protocols. My goal is pretty simple: I want the students to understand how computers talk to each other on a network and give them troubleshooting tools.

We took him out in April, and he seems a much happier kid now. I'm trying to think up fun things to do for homeschool projects. He wants to build a car. I want him to work on his CCNA or maybe work on some Linux skills. We've got the Cisco lab put together, but I think he''d much rather have a Mopar lab in the garage ;-)  

Are you hooked into any homeschooling groups that offer additional courses? iYou and the rest ALE should find this LEGO class for homeschoolers interesting:
