Vance Thomas, Computer & Networking Technology 2010-2011

Hello, my name is Vance Thomas and I’m currently a senior at Midd-West High School, and I am spending my last year of school here at SUN Tech. I chose to come here because of the wide range of possibilities that this school brings: the large number of courses to take, college credits, hands-on experience, as well as qualifying for extra college credits by applying for the PCNow dual enrollment program. PCNow allows us to take two 3 credit Penn College courses while at SUN, giving us a head start on our college career. We also have a chance through a partnership with Bloomsburg University to obtain up to 15 AP credits toward their new Computer Forensics Bachelor’s Degree Program.

In this class, Computer & Networking Technology, you learn how to repair and build computers, configure network servers, create web pages, install fiber optic and copper cabling and install networking equipment such as switches and routers and lots more.

The year is going quickly and I’m learning quite a lot about this course and what it includes. I hope to pursue a career in Computer Forensics, so many of the current activities we do here will greatly help me in the future.
