Teaching is a learning opportunity
I’ve recently gotten the opportunity to teach an IT class at the school where I got my own start in IT: Brown Mackie College. I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back to an organization that helped me break into a field I really enjoy. As of October of this year, I’ll be an official Adjunct Professor. I report to Dr. Peter Ifeacho, Department Chair of Technology.
The class I’ll be teaching is one that has a lot of benefit to businesses: Installing, Configuring, and Administering Microsoft Windows XP Professional. It’s part of this program: Computer Networking and Applications. To give you a little more background, here’s a snippet from Microsoft about the program: ”Candidates for this exam operate in medium to very large computing environments that use Microsoft Windows XP Professional as a desktop operating system. They have a minimum of one year of experience implementing and administering any desktop operating system in a network environment.”
Teaching is something I have always been interested in. The benefit of teaching is that it really is a learning experience in itself. It encourages you to delve deeper into a particular subject; especially if you’re teaching something that you’re already passionate about. I look forward to learning from the experience, and hopefully helping the next batch of great IT professionals get their start.
