I am the Information Technology teacher at Vallivue High School teaching Networking, Computer Repair and Web Design. These are programs that were brought back to Vallivue in 2015 with Web Design starting in 2016.
Being a new program, we don't have a lot of equipment to work with and rely on virtual labs. In the Career Technical Education world, hands on experience is crucial for our students to learn the material and obtain industry certifications, giving them a chance to use their skills in the workplace.
We are working on building a networking lab that will benefit students for multiple years.
