• Welcome to LAI 516: Infrastructure for K12 CS. Sorry to be getting the course started a few days late.
• Course content focuses on the idea of Infrastructure. Goal: understand the context of your practice; lead in design. We'll discuss four layers of infrastructure:
  • Standards
  • Curricula
  • Media
  • Implementations
• Course structure: Twice-weekly meetings on Zoom. The only written assignments are quick sheets for media.
