TTL-NA Basic 2001:  
Core Curriculum
 

June 4 – 29, 2001

 he TTL-NA Basic or Core curriculum has been developed and updated through coordinated efforts among DECA, the SD Bureau of Information and Telecommunications, TIE, and SDSM&T.  Feedback and participation from TTL-NA participants has also been sought and used in the process of updating and tuning the curriculum.

  The TTL-NA Core Curriculum has been developed specifically to equip K-12 network administrators with the basic knowledge and skills to perform their tasks as efficiently and effectively as possible.  The Bureau of Information and Telecommunications (BIT) provides network connectivity and support to SD K-12 schools through the Wiring the Schools and Connecting the Schools programs.  BIT has developed a robust and reliable standard configuration of software and hardware. This is the primary focus of the Core Curriculum.  

  The topics and class times listed below should be considered as approximate. The format of the curriculum will be lecture + structured lab with as much time devoted to hands-on experiences as possible.  For 2001, NT 4.0 remains the supported standard operating system.  Windows 2000 migration issues will be touched upon briefly.  Recognizing the significant legacy of Macintosh computers still in use in schools, the curriculum will address issues relevant to the use of Macs as appropriate throughout the curriculum.  Additional topics of interest to subsets of the participants may also be covered in less formal optional evening sessions.

  TTL-NA  
Advanced Network Administration Topics

The Advanced TTL-NA curriculum has been developed specifically to help active K-12 network administrators continue to extend their knowledge and skills and enable them to perform their tasks as efficiently and effectively as possible. The Bureau of Information and Telecommunications (BIT) provides network connectivity and support to SD K-12 schools through the Wiring the Schools and Connecting the Schools programs.  BIT has deployed a robust, reliable standard configuration of software and hardware. The TTL-NA academy's primary emphasis is this standard software/hardware configuration.    

The topics and class times listed below should be considered as approximate. The intent of the advanced TTL-NA sessions is to leverage the expertise of the technologists in the K-12 system as much as possible.  The participants will be highly knowledgeable and will be encouraged to participate in the teaching and discussions processes, Instruction will include lecture, structured labs, and discussion. As much time as possible will be devoted to hands-on experiences and demonstrations.

For 2001, NT 4.0 remains the supported standard operating system.  However, Windows 2000 migration issues will be addressed in advanced sessions.  Recognizing the significant legacy of Macintosh computers still in use in schools, issues surrounding use of Macintoshes will be addressed during relevant portions of the curriculum.  Additional topics of interest to subsets of the participants may also be covered in less formal optional evening sessions.
