From Julia’s Presentation…
IT User: a computer literate user of applications and the
Internet… IT users meet the IT core standards and have a basic
IT foundation of knowledge.
Pre-IT Producer: an IT user who develops additional IT
foundation skills… An IT pre-producer may be in a HS program
and will finish training at post-secondary level.
IT Producer: designs, develops, supports and manages
hardware, software, multimedia and system integration services.
Most students will begin their IT Producer sequence of classes
and will complete at post-secondary level.

Oracle Education Initiatives
The ability to use technology to learn and succeed in the
21st century has become a "new basic" for all students.
To meet this educational challenge, every school needs
computers, software, innovative content, and technically
savvy teachers. To achieve this goal, Oracle Corporation
has created a family of education programs that leverage
our core competencies in information technology and the
