Abstract
After the smoke of school network installation clears, schools find themselves in need of qualified network mangers. Most school districts cannot afford to hire trained network administrators, so they seek training for current personnel. Such training is usually oriented toward single-vendor business networks rather than the patchwork of legacy systems found in many schools. To address the need for school network training, the University of South Florida's Instructional Technology program developed a menu of options, including a guidebook, a website, a workshop series, and a graduate credit course. Each of these resources was developed through collaboration between university faculty and school district technology personnel. The School Networks course, offered on an attractive alternate calendar schedule, focuses on the specific needs of the multi-vendor school network environment. The class provides fundamentals of network architecture and operation, along with practical hands-on maintenance, trouble-shooting, and legal issues.
