Posted by:Admin | Posted on: February 1st, 2013 | 0 Comments
We spotted this interesting IPv6 article this morning written by Angus Kidman at Lifehacker and wanted to share it with you. Here's an excerpt: "We’ve known for decades that the available pool of IPv4 address was eventually going to dry up, but despite numerous warnings usage of its successor IPv6 is still minimal. Why haven’t we migrated yet? Geoff Huston, chief scientist for regional internet registry APNIC, suggests that the answer is that carriers are too cheap to make the switch and are happy to rely on network address translation (NAT) systems instead." Read the full article here. If you find that your organization is moving to IPv6 or that you recently have and need training, please be sure to give us a call. We can help!There is No Substitute for an Instructor
Posted by:Admin | Posted on: January 22nd, 2013 | 0 Comments
Most will agree that there is no substitute for instructor-led classroom training. The interaction and dialogue between teacher and student is tough to beat. But tight budgets and even tighter business needs can make it difficult to break away from the office to attend training. You need to be better at your job but you’re so busy doing your job you can’t take time to get better. Enter the next evolution in learning: Remote Online Training. Remote Online Training can help maximize your ever-shrinking training dollars while creating new opportunities with tight schedules. But is it good enough to replace being in the classroom with the instructor? Definitely maybe! Allow me to explain. Some of the most important criteria in any good training offering are:- Quality of Instruction – Training is a waste of time and money if the instructor isn’t good at what he/she is doing and able to convey the information in a way that is useful and meaningful.
- Cost Effectiveness – When it comes to price, remote online training has an advantage over instructor-led classroom learning. Put simply, training dollars go farther when instructor and student don’t have to come together in the same room for learning.
- Ease of Scheduling – Many remote training solutions allow you to learn on your own schedule rather than taking time out of the normal work day. You can attend training pretty much anywhere you have a computer and Internet connectivity.
- Quality of Interaction – Training needs to provide value and it needs to engage you in the learning process. This is a lot easier to do when you are sitting face-to-face with the instructor who is interacting with you. If you are remote, staying involved is more difficult and you are more likely to mentally wander or literally get pulled away.
- Computer-Based Training (CBT)
- Live Remote Online Instructor-Led Training
- Repeatable. You can watch the same lecture over again.
- Controllable. Pause, rewind, fast-forward, etc.
- Portable. CBT’s are often available on-line or via CD/DVD. If you can store the videos on your computer you can watch them anywhere.
- Non-Interactive. You can’t ask the instructor questions (in real-time) and you don’t benefit from the input of other students in the classroom.
- It’s Live. The class is real and interactive.
- Real-Time Interaction. Remote students can ask questions in real time. They can use their web cam, keyboard and computer screen to interact and ask questions as well as participate in the labs at the data center remotely.
- Cost-Effective. Remote Online Training is often less expensive than classroom training. Combine this with the elimination of travel costs to/from training and the cost benefits are unmistakable.
- You’re still not there. Because you are not in the physical classroom you will still find it easier to mentally or physically wander.
- No really, you’re still not there. Being physically present for any event is almost always more impactful.

Posted by:Admin | Posted on: December 21st, 2012 | 1 Comments
We are proud to announce that we will be putting together a program in which we host a free two hour training session every other week at our Virginia Beach training center to discuss various topics in IT networking and information assurance. Our plan is to have this course on evenings twice a month from 6pm - 8:30pm. Days are to be determined depending on the interest level we receive. Topics will vary from wireless security, IPv6 transition, to basic and advanced networking topics. The training sessions will not be geared towards certification preparation. These sessions will be a way for us to give something back to our current and previous clients and to help new clients learn about ITdojo and the quality of training that we deliver. We assure you that these unique training sessions will be filled with quality content and will not be a sales pitch in any way at all. If you want more information about further training after a session, we leave that up to you to ask. If you are interested in becoming a part of this group please fill out the form below.
