Daily Note

Hello class! 

  1. Please send me an email with your questions about web science
  2. Hopefully back on Monday!
  3. I am fully-aware missing this much instructional time is bad. Now that I have a computer, I can send you more constructive work.
  4. Please dont worry about falling behind our schedule, I always build in a bit of wiggle-room. 
     

Today is Friday, so we discuss careers in computing! There are two videos to watch (the first one is only 3 minutes long). The field is bioinformatics.

  1. Please watch this intro so you know what bioinformatics is
  2. Please watch this much better analysis of the career path

Please review the content you have on web science

 

Statement of Inquiry

The big idea for today is Web science.

The essential questions for this topic are:

What is the web, really? How is the web made? How do we design and build web-based applications?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about web science (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
