The NetKnowledge curriculum emphasizes the hands-on approach to learning. In addition to networking and telecommunications technology, the NetKnowledge curriculum includes skills in communications, human relationships, and employment. Students incorporate their technology skills into written assignments.
Students work as partners or in teams to develop their human relationship skills.
They focus on employment skills, looking at careers, creating their resumes, and developing interviewing skills. TERC , a nationally renowned non-profit group, has developed this curriculum in partnership with Nortel Networks. Continuing students may complete one, two, or all three of the additional courses in several recommended patterns. An optional first course in Understanding the Internet is also available. The NetKnowledge curriculum is endorsed by CoSN , the Consortium for School Networking.
