Career Express Day 2 Gwinnett Technical College Lawrenceville
What a beautiful day it was here meeting these wonderful people here at Gwinnett Technical College in Lawrenceville, GA. Everyone was excited to be there, and eager to learn more about Microsoft Certification, Learning as well as Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.
We got the opportunity to meet a lot of really amazing folks who are doing their part to drive forward their own lives as well as the lives of others around them by leveraging technology
Education comes in all shapes and sizes, and even some ghosts!
I’d like to especially mention Joey Snow, IT Pro Evangelist who delivered the Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 here at Gwinnett Technical College and will be joining us at further places on the tour! You can follow Joey on Twitter at @JoeySnow

What did I learn? Please, correct me if I am wrong.
I learned about the newest and greatest Windows 7, and the fun flashy disco ball tricks (which I can’t wait to enjoy), but! . . .
I am still on Windows XP; I have seen Vista and have witnessed some challenges.
What I learned at the tour stop in Georgia was that to gain those new bells & whistles, I need to earn 7 first by strategizing through Windows Vista anyway, as it would not behoove me to jump right into 7. Am I right?
Oh, and it PAYS to get certified! Thanks all for your visit & the breakfast snacks!
I am a PC at Gwinnett Tech!
