Weekly news from Hocking College's Computer Science department. We're focusing on our students strengths, their struggles and their potentials. Topics will also include activities and resources related to AWS Cloud, Grow with Google, Girls Who Code and more
In today's episode I talk about how we can use meet ups to net work and to get to know other people like potential employers at graduation and recruiters. One of the reasons that may require my students to attend meet ups during the first semester is for them to start building those relationships themselves. .

In this episode I cover motivation as part of #MotivationMonday that I do on our Facebook live at the Hocking College a Computer Science Facebook page. Motivation can come in different forms and in different ways that inspire you and connect with you. In this episode I go over motivation to volunteer a different events and organizations. This was inspired by conferences coming back to being in person and my volunteering at the Women in Analytics conference this week. I also had a couple other inspirations through We Work Remotely‘s career fair and their interview interview with Automattic. Also why you should be motivated to attend a Hocking College starting this fall. If you have any questions please let me know and be sure to follow a Hocking College Computer Science Facebook page and subscribe to this podcast. https://www.facebook.com/HockingCollegeComputerScience/ and https://youtu.be/mOilFPvFc2E
Some awesome things happening at Hocking College Data Analytics program has been approved New updates with AWS Educate
In this episode I talk about how I hijacked another classroom for their whiteboard and how awesome a whiteboard can be when you’re working on a project. I also share some insights from the OETC2020 conference and what scholarships actually can mean to students.
Codemash is an annual conference held in Sandusky, Ohio in January. CodeMash is organized by several volunteers from the professional developer community in the Heartland region who are recognized experts in these different technologies. Ever since I've discovered this conference and volunteering opportunities, I've highly encouraged my students to attend, network and learn cool stuff. Two of my second year Web Dev students volunteered this year and I was fortunate to be able to interview them as they share their experiences and what they've learned. One of the things I found most interesting between these students and hopefully you'll notice as well as their differences and their individual strengths and weaknesses show that all types of personalities and experience levels can come into the field of computer science. Meet our two students: Andrea Chatfield https://twitter.com/andichatfield Gabe Alexander
In this episode I focus more on the AWS academy class that we had reason I’m starting today. One of the things that I find especially interesting is it the fact that the only people in the class in the classroom today was myself and three girls so we got a little bit of #GirlPower which is awesome. I also had two favorite moments in the classroom today. One is peer learning at its finest in my opinion. The other is the students realizing that they are learning through the processes even if they don’t quite understand it when it’s happening. Listen to the podcast to learn more.

In this episode I do a week-end recap for the week of 1/20/2020 with the Hocking College Computer Science program. Topics include: Outreachy applications will be opening in February. Outreaching provides a great opportunity for paid internship experiences for the big names in tech. The website at https://www.outreachy.org/ states that Interns work with experienced mentors from open source communities. Outreachy internship projects may include programming, user experience, documentation, illustration, graphical design, data science, project marketing, user advocacy, or community event planning. Interns often find employment after their internship with Outreachy sponsors or in jobs that use the skills they learned during their internship. We expressly invite women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people to apply. We also expressly invite applications from residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, Native American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander. Anyone who faces under-representation, systemic bias, or discrimination in the technology industry of their country is invited to apply. Hocking College's AWS Academy course has a come-back date for 1/31/2020! This is free for all Hocking College students. Interview with a couple of my web-dev students and their experience as a CodeMash volunteer was done! It was a little nerve wracking for me as it was my first interview experience but it was a lot of fun. It's also interesting hearing the different thoughts and takeaways from the two students. They are definitely opposites in many ways (Ying and Yang) but they both have their own strengths and weaknesses that work well together.
In this episode I do a quick recap of... First week back! Building a PWA using A Book Apart "Going Offline" as a resource. Can be found at https://abookapart.com/products/going-offline Only $14 for the ebook (I have a collection of them) One of my students is freelancing building a website for her customer. We're using and learning more about Webflow as a tool. www.webflow.com Looking forward to volunteering my student based on their CodeMash volunteer experience. Hocking College Computer Science was awarded the Choose Ohio First grant! This means scholarships for computer science students! New project with Google and helping the community...stay tuned! New projects/resources coming with GitHub...stay tuned!
It’s a new year and we’re starting this first podcast this year discussing our new project - PWAs and the Service Workers that make them happen. We'll be using an ebook titled "Going Offline" from A Book Apart. If you're looking for some extra ways to learn about new stuff in web dev - I highly recommend them. Check them out at https://abookapart.com/.
One little word can make a huge difference. Do we have to be HERE or do we GET to be here?
School is out for Christmas but there’s still something to talk about: 1) Our “beta test” of me teaching our students from the AWS Academy curriculum for the first time. 2) Students volunteering at CodeMash
Bragging on my Hocking College Computer Science students meeting with the customer, engagement in their learning, and curiosity is growing.
Hocking College Web/App development students met their customer last week and we decided that PWA was the best way to build their app.
Week 1 and Episode 1 focusing on what this podcast series will be focusing on. Sometimes it's bragging on my students and program, talking about new stuff we're doing/learning or promo codes for upcoming events focusing on certifications.
