Partnering with Texas for America's Networked Future Partnering with Texas for America’s Networked Future A sustained economic recovery requires a skilled and well-trained workforce. Graduates who have acquired problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, in addition to specific job-related expertise, will be a crucial human resource for the United States in the years ahead. As organizations become increasingly reliant on knowledge workers and intelligent networks, Cisco® Networking Academy® is helping Texas prepare for sustainable, high-paying jobs by teaching the skills that employers need. A Leader in Education Innovation Cisco Networking Academy is a transformative, public-private education initiative, preparing today’s students for 21st century opportunities via Cisco Networking Academy has curricula that build knowledge and skills in information communications enrolled more than 3 million technology (ICT). students since its inception in 1997.

Students may then enroll in the more Cisco is the largest networking advanced Cisco CCNP® courses. company in the world, delivering innovations that transform how As of October 31, 2009, approximately 155,571 students were enrolled in people work, live, play, and learn. 2,425 academies in the United States and Canada. Rapid growth over the past decade has demonstrated the program’s versatility in geographic reach, diversity of students, number and variety of partners, breadth and relevance of curriculum, and ability to keep pace with technical and pedagogical advances. Course content is consistent, providing students everywhere with the same knowledge and skill development. The 21st Century Workforce Strengthening instruction for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is a prerequisite to developing a well-trained, 21st century workforce. The Obama administration has announced an education initiative aimed at increasing STEM literacy and critical thinking, improving the quality of STEM teaching, and expanding STEM education and career opportunities with a focus on under-represented groups like women and minorities. www.cisco.com/go/netacad/us-can Copyright © 1997–2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Information. Page 1 of 9 Educators have placed considerable emphasis on the science and math components of the STEM curricula. But technology and engineering are equally vital. In particular, ICT investments are expected to play a major role in generating stable, high-paying jobs and boosting the nation’s GDP. In addition, a workforce that is well-schooled in ICT and engineering can help spur innovation across many industries, which in turn opens up additional business opportunities to fuel productivity and economic growth. “Reaffirming and strengthening America's role as the world's engine of scientific discovery and technological innovation is essential to meeting the challenges of this century. That's why I am committed to making the improvement of STEM education over the next decade a national priority.” —President Barack Obama, 11/23/09 Networking Academy puts an emphasis on understanding what skills will be required in future job markets. Networking knowledge will be especially important in critical areas such as green technologies, healthcare, smart energy grids, and the push toward universal broadband deployment. Networking Academy utilizes an education infrastructure that ensures curricula will evolve to meet STEM and future learning requirements. State-of-the-Art Learning Environment The instructional approach at Networking Academy encourages student engagement, enhancing the student’s ability to synthesize learning and apply it in other contexts. Four skill areas identified by education researchers as critical for 21st century workers have been integrated into the course content: • Problem solving and decision making: Students practice and test their knowledge by configuring and troubleshooting networks using hands-on labs and simulation software. • Creative and critical thinking: Students understand the how and why of networking by combining hands-on learning with conceptual and analytical exercises. • Collaboration, communication, and negotiation: Students acquire teamwork and career-ready skills as they perform lab exercises and engage in business scenarios. • Intellectual curiosity and information handling: Coursework helps students develop the ability to find, select, structure, and evaluate information. Real-world case studies give students the opportunity to develop cutting-edge problem-solving techniques. Spotlight on Community Colleges A unique feature of these institutions is their linkage with business and industry, and hence their integration into economic development. Community colleges are working to align their curricula, certifications, and degrees with new ICT jobs through Networking Academy implementations. In the United States, more than 50% of all community colleges offer Networking Academy courses. According to researchers, students today are faced with high tuition costs, a weak economy, and increased competition for admission to four-year colleges. They are more likely than at any other point in history to attend community college. As a result, community colleges have experienced a spike in enrollment. In July 2009, the Obama administration proposed a $12 billion plan called the American Graduation Initiative, aimed at supporting community colleges by funding job training and retraining programs. www.cisco.com/go/netacad/us-can Copyright © 1997–2010 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Information. Page 2 of 9 As an example of how these institutions are responding to the challenge, Moraine Valley Community College in the Chicago area is leading the Center for System Security and Information Assurance (CSSIA), a consortium of seven academic institutions in five states, dedicated to developing and evaluating cyber-security curricula, and offering training programs to community college and university faculty, secondary school faculty, and students across the region. A Cisco Networking Academy training center was established at Moraine in 1998, and academy courses are an integral part of the curricula. CSSIA has developed nine undergraduate courses, nine graduate courses, and a variety of workshops that can be used as models by other institutions.

  • High-Performance Play: the Making of Machinima
    High-Performance Play: The Making of Machinima Henry Lowood Stanford University <DRAFT. Do not cite or distribute. To appear in: Videogames and Art: Intersections and Interactions, Andy Clarke and Grethe Mitchell (eds.), Intellect Books (UK), 2005. Please contact author, [email protected], for permission.> Abstract: Machinima is the making of animated movies in real time through the use of computer game technology. The projects that launched machinima embedded gameplay in practices of performance, spectatorship, subversion, modification, and community. This article is concerned primarily with the earliest machinima projects. In this phase, DOOM and especially Quake movie makers created practices of game performance and high-performance technology that yielded a new medium for linear storytelling and artistic expression. My aim is not to answer the question, “are games art?”, but to suggest that game-based performance practices will influence work in artistic and narrative media. Biography: Henry Lowood is Curator for History of Science & Technology Collections at Stanford University and co-Principal Investigator for the How They Got Game Project in the Stanford Humanities Laboratory. A historian of science and technology, he teaches Stanford’s annual course on the history of computer game design. With the collaboration of the Internet Archive and the Academy of Machinima Arts and Sciences, he is currently working on a project to develop The Machinima Archive, a permanent repository to document the history of Machinima moviemaking. A body of research on the social and cultural impacts of interactive entertainment is gradually replacing the dismissal of computer games and videogames as mindless amusement for young boys. There are many good reasons for taking computer games1 seriously.

  • Emergent Gameplay: the Limits of Ludology and Narratology in Analyzing Video Game
    1 Emergent Gameplay: The Limits of Ludology and Narratology in Analyzing Video Game Narrative A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with distinction in English in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Benjamin Nanamaker The Ohio State University December 2005 Project Advisers: Professors Jared Gardner and David Herman, Department of English 2 Introduction Ever since the 1976 release of Death Race, an arcade game that let gamers run over stick people, there have been plenty of politicians, media outlets and watchdog groups monitoring video games for inappropriate content (Kent 90). Controversy has never been too far behind the video game industry as it has grown over the last 30 years from its small-scale roots into a $10 billion a year industry that rivals Hollywood (Riley). The industry has managed to overcome a 1993 Senate meeting about violent video games as well as a rash of school shootings in the late 90s that some attributed to the shooters’ obsession with first-person shooter games like Doom (Kent 467, 545). The latest video game series to receive attention from politicians and watchdog groups is the Grand Theft Auto series. Although the first game was released in 1997 on the Playstation home system, it wasn’t until the gameplay and graphics were refined in the 2001 release of Grand Theft Auto III that the game drew serious criticism. Its “go anywhere, do anything” aesthetic allowed gamers to engage in morally questionable acts like car jacking, arson, prostitution and murder. In June, the controversy came to a head when one gamer discovered a sex-based mini-game hidden deep in the code of the latest version of the game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (Lohr).
