Core Interaction

Week 1

1/19 – 1/22

Friday, Lab

Homework

  • Finish the questionnaire.
  • Set up your GitHub account and GitHub desktop app by following the lab demo video.
  • Create a basic home page for your GitHub account, making sure that your GitHub Pages site is set up properly. If I visit your site, I should be able to see it at a domain that looks similar to this: http://fisherdm.github.io.
  • Before our next class, double-check that your username is properly linked to your GitHub page on our class site’s student list. If this link isn’t automatically working after you’ve set up GitHub, post the URL of your GitHub profile in our class Slack channel #a-simovich-fisher and ping me saying that it is not linked.

Homework

  • Read Can the Internet be Archived? and write a discussion question. Julia is our discussion leader.
