Submitted Software Approval Request

Submitted By: dlashton on 1/23/2025 10:42:46 AM
Requestor Work Location*: Cyprus High School
Requestor Title*: Techer
Software Name*: Cisco Packet Tracer
Software Description*: Allows for a virtual self-contained network environment for learning and testing network steps. No special hardware is required just the software that virtualizes routers and switches to test and explore different types of setups.
URL for download (Required)*: https://www.netacad.com/resources/lab-downloads?courseLang=en-US
Purpose / Use / Notes*: This seems to be the preferred software that the AP board suggests for teaching the new AP Cyber Networking course I will be teaching next year. It is a virtualized networking environment that allows students to learn networking concepts without needing physical hardware. It is also as safe as the fake network stays on the computer the students are using and does not go out into the real internet as it is just a fake setup. I wanted to see if this software would be approved now instead of waiting until next year when it will be needed. If not we would then have enough time to find a suitable alternative. I also wanted to start working with it as I prepare the curriculum for the class.
