Champaign Centennial High School Teacher - Cisco Networking Academy

What I liked best about the CTER OnLine program:  The convenience of working when my schedule allowed me to work. I like all of the technical aspects of CTER the best and wish there were several more tech courses in the curriculum. I learned the most and was challenged the most by them.
How I managed to fit the coursework into my hectic life:  I'm a night owl, so it was not unusual for me to post in the wee hours of the morning. I found it really convenient to work when I had the inspiration too, instead of the other way around.
CTER OnLine has impacted my professional career in the following ways:  I think I have a deeper understanding of the curricular focuses of technology not only in my classes which are very techno-centric, but across my school, and district.
Have you had any major life changes you'd like to share? (marriages, births, new jobs, etc.)  No marriages, births, etc. While working on CTER I managed to study for and pass the CCNA exam, (Cisco Certified Networking Associate). That was a very difficult and demanding process, but I'm glad I did. I recommend to anyone serious about technology to pursue an IT certification.
My most memorable experience in the CTER OnLine program:  Its all a blur now, but I enjoyed working with my various group members very much and interacting on the web board
