Finished first #CyberSecurity class for #CollegeCreditPlus (college classes for high school students) certification. Got an A.

The reason is simple -- 15 years of #SecurityNow with Steve Gibson (@SGgrc) on #TWIT.

Also, it was summer break from #k12 work, so had time to do the work. We'll see what happens during the school year, when I'm busy with #ESOL (#ESL) stuff.

Next fall, I'll be teaching cyber security to high school students for college credit. And doing ESOL stuff.

Took the midterm test for the #CyberSecurity class that I'm taking (so can teach college level classes at #HighSchool).
Went well, but not great. 7 long-answer questions, worth 17, 18, or 20 points each. 135 points total.
I should get full points on at least 3 of them. Decent points on 2 or 3 more. One or two, I'll probably only get half points or so. Won't know for a while, so not going to sweat it.

BTW, MA-level class; I'm #ESOL.
😅 😂

#k-12 school year for teachers ended last week. My year ends tomorrow. New term of #AdultESOL / #AdultESL starts (for me) on Saturday.

#CyberSecurity class started last week. So far, so good. Pretty interesting. For this #CollegeCreditPlus program, I have to do 1 class in the fall, 2 in the spring, and the final one next summer. While working 60 hours a week. Not looking forward to that spring term at all.

Luckily, I've listened to #SecurityNow with @SGgrc for over 10 years.

My first #CyberSecurity class for #CollegeCreditPlus (college classes for high school students) credentialing at #FranklinUniversity in #Columbus #Ohio officially started today.

#Linux is not mentioned as a supported or even unsupported platform. (not their fault; it was prolly uni decision, not CS dept.)

Course has 1 or 2 "proctored" tests, which means spyware. I'm going to try to take them in front of live proctors. Alternative is #MSWindows in a virtual machine. Will that even work?

Got accepted for a program to credential high school teachers to teach college classes (#Ohio's #CollegeCreditPlus program). Doing the paperwork stuff now - so much fun.

I'm an #ESOL teacher. I'll be taking classes to get credentialed to teach college-level #CyberSecurity. Have to take 4 or 5 graduate-level classes. Might have to do a pre-req or two.

Luckily, I've been listening to #TWiT and #SecurityNow for over 10 years at this point (maybe closer to 15?), so I feel pretty well prepared.
