Yeah... There's certainly space for theory and some writing, but most computer stuff is hands-on. Do we really need to memorize the ISO layer anymore? I mean, a 3-second Google search can give anyone that type of info...
I believe IT would be much better served by people who don't know a lot but know where to look for information than people who know some stuff very well but have no idea where to find the rest.
idk i went to a "tek skool" for IT. i personaly think a good intro to electronic theory helps alot. its dry as shit but it helps with the analytical skills. also it depends on where you want to take the shop. in the end we had 32 different teachers in my 4 yrs of school. merging an electronics shop with the computer program.
in the end there were 2 tracks
hardware that ended with A+, net +, and a ccna ect
Software, html, programming, and whatever other crap that they taught
i took hardware because im a technician at heart, fixing problems and creating flexible solutions has always been my bag. with emerging techs like voip in major corporations that might be something to look at
edit* theory will always be important, never over load but it needs to be there, osi model, how things work all help in the end. no matter how easy it is to find on the net, knowing the cabling diagrams to make a cat5 or crossover is always helpful
I actualyl meant to type "the layers on the OSI Model"... How it only came out "The OSI layer" is beyond me, but since we are on the subject:
Yo mama so fat, she got more layers than the OSI model.
I need to go post that one in the yo mama thread.

Most definitely... Some things will always be handy to know by heart. I, for one, have a cheat sheet of the cat5 cabling diagrams in my wallet.
I'm going to be covering A+ at a minimum... from there, not sure what yet. I'm obviously going to cover a lot of general knowledge stuff, but I want to avoid getting *too* specialized or specific.
Here's a sign of how screwed up the old teach was... last year the Seniors were asked to make some patch cables and didn't know how.
Oddly enough, I actually went through the Programming side of the shop when I was there and then got into Networking / Repair. I find that the troubleshooting skills and the ability to find answers to problems you've never seen has helped me more than any amount of certification testing.
true besides certs degrees are the only other way to get hired. as part of the shop it was our duty to run service calls all over the school. troubleshoot and repair, all problems. printers cables, windows errors (anger)
^^ And those aren't even really right... you only have to cross the orange and green pairs because the brown/Blue pairs aren't really used. I just looked at a crossover here and only the orange and green are swapped.
Basically, you either have a cable with 568A on both ends, 568B on both ends, or a crossover with 568A on one end and 568B on the other.

That's the standard... You don't really need to cross the other pairs (you don't even need to use the right colors) but the standard calls for it. Cat6 requires all pairs to be crossed, so might as well get in the habit of doing it.
