Teaching is my first and foremost passion. If I ever win the lottery, I'm going back to teaching high school. Seriously. I remember when the guy at the University of New Orleans' Personal Computing Learning Center called, asking if I'd be interested in teaching there. I said yes immediately. He said "but you haven't heard what the hourly rate is yet!" I replied "It doesn't matter, it's got to be better pay than when I was a high school teacher." :-)
After leaving the high school classroom, I taught for Our Lady of Holy Cross College, then the University of New Orleans. I currently teach Storage Area Networking topics, both non-hardware specific and hardware-specific.Some of the subjects I teach:
EMC2
- SAN Management
- Symmetrix Business Continuity (TimeFinder/SRDF)
- EMC Control Center
- Legato Networker
Hitachi Data Systems
- Tagmastore USP Foundations
- Tagmastore Modular Foundations
UNIX
The EMC2 classes I teach often involve a lot of "host integration" lab work, so I work regularly and stay current with Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX, Red Hat and SuSe Linux, as well as FreeBSD.
- Commands and Utilities
- System Installation and Configuration
- System Administration
- Networking
- Samba
- Storage Management (Veritas, LVM)
- Clustering
In addition to these technical subjects, I also teach a number of "Personal Productivity" subjects to non-technical computer users who want to improve their proficiency.
