Ask HN: What to teach in undergrad Intro to Tech course? I'm teaching an undergraduate Intro to Technology course which is required for all students at my university. I've been given relatively free reign over the content - It just needs to be relevant to the students and help them prepare for the rest of their schooling and future careers. What would you include? Right now the course involves a lot of Microsoft Office and typing skills, but I'd like to provide more value than just Office skills. I've been considering basic programming, video production, or computer hardware in addition to discussions about ethics in technology, ergonomics, technology addiction, and current events. What are your thoughts? |
