Multi-pathway
Principles of Information Technology is a foundational course and provides an overview of information technology (IT) today. The course provides learners with an introduction to hardware, looking at both internal and external components. Then, they explore the most common operating systems, software applications, and programming languages with hands-on activities. Learners discover the different types of networks and network topology, and they set up an email client/server connection. During the course, they consider contemporary IT issues such as security and privacy, the effects of IT on society and the individual, and technological inequality. Finally, learners research the types of careers that exist in IT today.
PLANNING TOOLS provides a guide to course implementation, including scope and sequence, lesson plans, and the culminating project overview.

See What the Network is Saying
It was through my NAF classes that I met mentors and got the initial exposure to NAF partners and met people from corporate America and from places I never knew about. I encourage you to leverage the NAF Network.
