- 4. Ugh. I know. Been there.
- 5. I had IST 402 in Spring 2006..
- 6. I had IST 402 in Spring 2006.. 20 minus 6.. 14 (ew gross)
- 7. Your TAs, you can haz 2 so say hi. They can be trusted as they < 30
- 8. Stefan Horgas sth5182 @psu.edu & Shrey Nigam sqn5300 @psu.edu
- 9. Today’s Agenda - Talk about the structure of the class - Talk about last semester - Tell you a bit about my experience, skillsets, accomplishments and background that brought me here today - Check out systems that I’ve built that PSU students and others used actively - We’ll do a short survey - Thursday will be the 1st lab IST 402
- 10. Let’s get some things out of the way 1st
- 11. Q1: Is this class about making a start up?
- 12. NO.
- 13. This is learning about technologies web companies are often built on
- 14. Q2: Do I need to be a 1337 (leet) dev to take this class?
- 15. NO
- 16. This is about getting ”hello world” level skills by doing hands-on labs
- 17. This enables you to explain not just what something is but how it works at entry level
- 18. If you get the concept and enjoy it, it’s yours to run with and learn on your own (aka, real life)
- 19. CIMG4000 by Scurzuzu, on Flickr, https://www.flickr.com/photos/scurzuzu/271232366 Now, the bullshit brain eating part
- 20. Emerging technologies [w00t] - The class I wish I had in college - Expose you to the ideas and technologies that make the web work - Learn about the magic behind major web platforms - Learn how programmers work, not necessarily coding outright, though we will at times. IST 402
- 21. - Get hands on with web technology concepts - Establish an online identity as an IT professional and improve technical speaking - Get your own domain via Reclaim Hosting - Learn about and apply industry concepts - Leverage 4 Content Management Systems CMSs - Participate in and help inform the creation of Open Source solutions PSU uses for educating - Have fun and learn a lot w/o stress IST 402 Course Goals
- 22. - Critique and feedback on previous lab responses - A lecture (like this one today) to frame - A practice activity / demo - A series of labs, around 12 (80% grade). - Thursday in class is mostly Lab Time - Do a blog post AND screencast as evidence of completion but also building your brand as a knowledge worker - Evidence / submission due Sunday 11:00pm IST 402 What this course is, the good news
- 23. - 1 exam (10% of grade) I hate them but I have to give one to vary grading - Don’t worry about it - It’s ”open internet” - ... - Some labs may get extended for additional class periods based on interest or technical issues so we might not hit all topics I’ve got planned. I’m flexible - Drupal is multiple weeks as a result of past, known complexity of it - Hopefully that’s it ~(0_0)/~ IST 402 What this course is, the bad news
- 24. Assessment types breakdown - 12 Labs, 10 pts/each, 120 pts - 1 Exam, 15 pts - 1 Final Project, 15 pts 80% Labs 10% Exam 10% Final Project IST 402 What this course is
- 25. Lab assessment type - Labs take place every Thursday - Examples: Create a Github account, make a new repo and write some example markdown. Create a Pull Request and make a video about how developers use git to track file changes and where github comes in. HTML – Log into code pen, fork this pen and modify it to improve accessibility. Go to cnn.com, go into the inspector panel. Generate fake news by modifying the homepage headlines. IST 402 What this course is
- 26. Lab assessment type Labs and the final project assessment vary per lab but generally follows.. - 50% - Did you complete the lab - 50% - Did your video explain what you learned in the lab / related to the subject in question / verify your understanding? - Was it submitted on time? (late is 30% off max) IST 402 What this course is
- 27. - This is not about getting famous - This is about building an online identity - This is about helping you communicate more effectively about technical concepts - Deprogram you of imposter syndrome those in industry speak with confidence as a result of constant failure - If one of you goes viral and gets a career in tech journalism as a result remember us little people IST 402 Why a YouTube channel
- 28. Exam assessment - Exam 15 questions Makes sure you know what a technology word is and a basic application of it - Example: What does git provide to teams? A. Help developers Git’r Done B. Version control to track changes C. Server virtualization and monitoring D. Another name for the Terminal prompt IST 402 What this course is
- 29. Project assessment - Project A slightly longer lab write up and pitch that is a culmination of ideas and approaches this semester. Basically, a double lab, don’t worry about it. - Example: We’re going to analyze a course you are taking and reimagine a lesson of instruction, making the case for why your topic is better than the original and why the technologies used are helped you learn Basically, auditing Penn State. IST 402 What this course is
- 30. - NOT Busy work If we’re not building toward your career, I’ll try as much as possible to skip it. - NOT A programming intensive course Opportunities to code will be available but not required for most - NOT Using Canvas They tracks & build learner profiles to manipulate future learners via data No employer you go to will ask what LMS you experienced Grades will be posted there, that’s it. IST 402 What this course is NOT
- 31. - Hear about a topic and why it’s important - Then practice the topic in class - Then finish up a lab over the next week - Then write about the topic This practices technical writing skills - Then record a screencast about the top This practices presentation technique - Both forms of output help you refine your communication skills about technology while creating artifacts on the web for others to learn from / know your abilities! IST 402 What / why we’re doing it this way
- 32. - After creating the video, add the link At the bottom of the blog post - Then submit it to the associated slack channel - We’re using Slack because it’s a simple method of communication that allows for useful integrations w/ other applications - and because industry uses it so it’s more like real life IST 402 What / why we’re doing it this way
- 33. - Attending lab and doing the lab in class directly correlated to getting an A ”this course wasn’t hard but I feel like I learned more in this then any other IST class” - This course is a lot of small projects so do the work on schedule and avoid it mounting - The more you invest in you, your brand and take it seriously, the more it will help you long term IST 402 Past offering advise

Editor's Notes
- 2. If you ignore their needs, authors may give up altogether and abandon all hopes of updating the content. A site is a living thing, and it needs to be fed fresh content regularly. Sites that are starved and abandoned are pretty scary.
