Fluency with IT?
FIT100 teaches you to be Fluent with IT
What does that mean for you? Using IT freely and easily Making technology your friend Recovering from bugs, errors, or
unexpected situations Being in control and confident… now
and in the future2012-03-09 Katherine Deibel, Fluency in Information Technology 2
Goals of FIT100
Make you better users today Prepare you to learn more IT as you
need it throughout your life Make you a better reasoner, problem
solver, trouble-shooter, etc.

What we did not cover
Accessibility and technology Digital divide E-waste Productivity and technology Computer graphics and animation Educational technologies So much more in spreadsheets More computer history

The Challenge—Your Diversity
Being fluent in information technology means different things for each of you Depends on your major
Depends on your career goals
Depends on your interests
There are 149 of you (≈120 in lecture ) 149 different interests and goals
Hopefully you had chances to learn from each other (while respecting academic conduct)
2012-03-09 Katherine Deibel, Fluency in Information Technology 7
What we aimed for instead
FIT100 aimed to help you to become Fluent by learning Skills
Concepts
Capabilities
2012-03-09 Katherine Deibel, Fluency in Information Technology 8
Skills
Skills are the ability to use computers today to solve your problems You have learned new applications … FTP,
GIMP, Spreadheets, Access, …
Even better, you learned how to learn applications: “Click Around,” “Blaze Away”
Be an aggressive, confident user
Could you learn your next application on your own?
2012-03-09 Katherine Deibel, Fluency in Information Technology 9
Concepts
Concepts are foundation for future learning How the Internet’s TCP/IP works (postcards)
how a computer works (F/E cycle),
how JavaScript can make dynamic Web pages
And privacy, netiquette, DB queries, etc,
What is the future of technology? We don't know, but
it will be familiar to you
You will see common concepts in the new tech
2012-03-09 Katherine Deibel, Fluency in Information Technology 10
Capabilities
The most ambitious goal of this class is to expand your thinking Reasoning, finding information, debugging,
designing pages or databases, problem solving, expecting the unexpected,…
It’s not easy to learn these things … Was debugging ever fun???
All capabilities useful beyond computing!

Applying Fluency
In the coming years you will apply knowledge from this class Perhaps it will be programming
Perhaps it will be talking with a tech person at work or at school
Perhaps it will be figuring out why your computer is being a total @*!!

Regarding Grading
This course is not curved (classically) No lowering your grade relative to others
All students may be adjusted up
My first time teaching this course I will be adjusting percentages, points,
weightings, etc.
Any changes will be net positives
