In order to pass Intro to Information Technology, you will need to demonstrate time management as you work independently on obtaining five introductory certificates. This doesn't mean these will be the ONLY things you are working on in class. We will have labs, lesssons and independent projects. You are required to complete 2 Sololearn Certificates, 1 Adobe Certificate, 1 cyber security certificate and 1 AI certifcate.  There are many certificates to choose from.  Each certificate is listed below.  Remember, Information Technology is a vast and expanding field, and if you continue to choose to take other tech classes you could work to receive HIGH PAYING TECH CERTS.  ALSO: As you earn more than 5 certificates, you have the opportunity to have more chances to win the PC we will be giving away @ the end of the semester AND YOU WILL MORE LIKELY BE ACCEPTED INTO A HELP DESK CLASS. 
MORE BONUS OPTIONS!!  Intro to Programming - Code.org Simple Encryption  - Code.org. 
IF YOU WANT TO BE CHALLENGED  - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND FREE CODE CAMP.
