I Wonder…

Every night that I that I turn in, I wonder about my current students and hope that they have the drive and motivation to continue their studies.  They compete against some of the most talented people in the world.  Although our CIT program has the drive to put these students in government, banking, manufacturing, health and other industries, I hope that Mike, Dawn and I can give these students the talent they need to compete in the ever changing technical world.

Our curriculum is the foundation they need to be versatile and diverse enough to enter the information technology field.  Not only do we teach tech support on hardware but networking, security and various operating systems.  Students have the opportunity to achieve seven to nine certifications from various vendors.

What is the most critical industry needed for IT professionals today?

By far one of the best burning applications available has to be ImgBurn.  With ImgBurn, you to:

  • Read – Read a disc to an image file
  • Build – Create an image file from files on your computer or network – or you can write the files directly to a disc
  • Write – Write an image file to a disc
  • Verify – Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a given image file to ensure the actual data is correct
  • Discovery – Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing 
  • The above information is from the ImgBurn website.

    Here’s a movie of Antivirus2009 (variant).  Don’t fall for this if you see this.  Reboot Your Computer.  IF you are dumb enough to click, download Malwarebytes or SmitFraudFix.  Reboot into safe mode.  Run these programs several times and you should be clean.  Link to Video
