Networking
CYBER.ORG has created this new comprehensive, year-long course geared toward educators teaching high school Networking.
With over sixty lesson topics and a plethora of labs and activities, Networking provides the rigor and relevance expected for top quality networking education. Not only does Networking introduce the breadth of networking concepts and skills, but it also prepares students to verify their technical know-how through the CompTIA Network+ certification.
Labs in Networking are designed for use with the CYBER.ORG Range at no cost to all US K-12 Educators. Networking lays a foundation of understanding network connectivity, network documentation, network activity, hardening techniques, configuring network infrastructure, and a variety of essential networking tools – all the essential knowledge and skills needed to begin a future in the cyber/networking workforce.
This course was created for the 2023-24 school year. Materials may be amended, edited, moved, or reorganized as we receive feedback from teachers. This is a wonderful opportunity to use CYBER.ORG’s newest, cutting-edge materials, and help us make these materials even better.
