Fluency With Information Technology
Goal:  Teach you everything you need to know to use
information technology effectively throughout your life
… but information technology changes very rapidly, so
the real goal is to make you a “life long learner” of IT
v There are three kinds of knowledge we will teach
Skills, such as how to use email, WWW, word processing etc.
Concepts, such as how computers work, how networks work etc.
Capabilities, such as logical reasoning, managing complexity etc.
v Projects are the key to this course -- mostly the class
is doing stuff … make a web page, solve world hunger
This may be the coolest class you ever take at UW
