The Information Technology program has seen a huge growth in the number of students taking the entry level IT course - IT Essentials. Last year, there was approximately 25 students enrolled in this course (which introduces hardware, software, networking, security, and other IT support concepts), we now have over 85 students currently enrolled in the IT Essentials course. This is awesome and I hope in the next two years to start seeing more students enrolled in the advanced IT courses, which will help to prepare them for industry certifications, post-secondary education, and careers in various IT fields.
Here's the question that I would like for us to discuss as a group:
What skills do you think are most important for students to develop as they study information technology in high school? And why?
