About CSIS1
Our book, Fluency with Information Technology
-- FIT for short -- is the state-of-the-art IT class for non-techies
• FIT is better than computer literacy• FITness concept from NSF/NRC study• FITness teaches how to use IT today
and how to learn IT throughout life
UW was first in the US with a FIT class

The Content
CSIS1 helps you become Fluent by teaching … Skills, like email, word processing, … Concepts, like how networks work,
building Web pages with HTML, … Capabilities, like how to find accurate
information on the WWW, debugging, …
• Integrates content by using projects

Lifetime of Learning
Why is lifelong learning emphasized?• Consider a college education as a
“product” with a 55 year “useful life” What to teach the class of 1944?

• The first computer invented in 1946• First packet sent on “Internet” in 1969• PC as “Personal computer” used in ~1980• WWW came “on the scene” in 1994

Is CSIS1 for You?
Take CSIS1 if you … Want to learn application & science of
IT Want to prepare for a lifetime of
expanding your use of IT Want to have fun building web pages,
programming a “turtle” to draw pictures Can attend classes/labs or work on your
ownCSIS1 is worth it ... you’ll use this class for a lifetime
![Page 13: Welcome to CSIS1 Intro to Computer Science and Information Systems (Based on UW’s Fluency with Information Technology) Please, take a syllabus © 2004 Lawrence.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022033102/56649e7b5503460f94b7bbfe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

But, Maybe Not
Do not take CSIS1 if You only want to learn a few skills like
word processing, email, Web, [CSIS50] You want a good grade with little
work… CSIS1 is not hard but it does involve a lot of fun learning activities
You expect someone else to do the work
CSIS1 is offered most terms …you can take it later

Motivation is key
How well will you do…• Students who perform well come to all
classes/labs, read the book, take all exams
• Students who do poorly skip classes/labs, don’t attempt parts of projects …

Taking CSIS 1 Is Worth It
Previous students said …“I was initially intimidated but I am glad that I was
able to take the class. I learned much new information, that will help me in the future.”
“This ended up being my favorite class. I enjoyed doing the HTML, and programming was also REALLY fun. I now feel comfortable with the basics and hope to pursue more knowledge in the subject.
• If this isn’t the term, come back later!
