Is this your first year as an
undergraduate student?
Then your iComps are right
around the corner in March.
What can you do to prepare? Learn at your
own pace in Simmons eLearning (IT 001
iComps) or sign up for workshops to help
you prepare for the exam.
14. You are part of a committee
charged with developing a FIT
framework for your institution

15. What the Pundits Say
“These days, if you don’t
have ADD you’re not
paying attention …
‘attention’ is the new
limited resource.”
But “Change is not a
threat — it’s a thing of
wonder.”
Jason Silva
18. Many Challenges Persist
One in ten people
believe the world will
come to an end on
12/21/12 (Reuters).
“There are literally
thousands of websites
and YouTube videos
that say the world will
end, and only two or
three say it's a hoax.”
19. Many Challenges Persist
Some of them are very clever
about it. They take my
videos that begin with the
NASA logo, chop that off, and
put it at the beginning of
their video with the headline
"NASA confirms the end of
the world."
- David Morrison
20. The Conundrum

perhaps we need to reconsider
the idea of literacy itself.
