related to your personal career goals.
 The following sites provide information about careers and have thousands of job
listings:
www.dice.com
www.monster.com
www.careerbuilder.com
http://careers.yahoo.com
www.indeed.com
www.guru.com
http://jobs.freelanceswitch.com
www.allfreelance.com
www.sologig.com
www.collegerecruiter.com
 The Internet provides a great opportunity for you to create and build professional
networks that may lead to job opportunities.
 Some sites are already set up for you to build a professional profile. You can create
a resume, list current and past jobs, skills and education.
 Once you become a member of these sites you can create links (“friend”) with
people that you have worked or associated with.
 Users can also write and post professional recommendations for one another.
 These sites are:
www.linkedin.com
www.spoke.com
www.zoominfo.com
www.jigsaw.com
 Follow the directions in the class text

 As an IT Professional you will have to translate highly technical concepts into
information for a non-technical audience so your communication skills are very
important
 If you are a Help Desk Technician you have to troubleshoot problems and explain
the solution to end users that may not understand
 Think about people you know that have very few computer skills. How would you
guide them through a technical problem?
 As an IT Professional you must keep in mind the Return on Investment (ROI) and its
impact on IT decisions and how they effect your company’s bottom line. Are the
benefits worth the expense?
 EXAMPLE: as Lakeview Middle School students we are convinced that purchasing
and assigning MacBook Air laptops to every student in our school would benefit
student engagement and increase student learning. We create a proposal with all
kinds of data and pricing for our Principal. We even get a petition going with
thousands of parent and student signatures. But our idea gets turned down. Why?
 Paradigm Shift – a change from one way of thinking to another. Revolutionary change.
A paradigm shift can happen when new technology is introduced that radically alters
the production process of a product. For example, the assembly line created a major
paradigm shift not only in the auto industry, but in all other areas of manufacturing as
well. Smart Phones created a paradigm shift in the way we communicate, research,
and socialize.
 Moore’s Law – the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits will
double every 2 years.

 Technology Adoption Life Cycle – the rate which people adopt new products or
technologies: Innovators, Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, Laggards

 When discussing computer science and Web technology, ontology is the study of
how a particular part of a company, called a domain, is organized.
 Ontology describes how individual elements of a domain relate to each other
 The relationship is hierarchical
 It helps programmers and designers tailor their systems to the needs of a business
 They can successfully map out solutions for businesses and organizations
 EXAMPLE: OCPS IT Department can design a system for users to login to the
network based on their role within the organization.
 Tech Coordinator has more rights on the computer than students because of the job they
must do to provide, fix, and monitor technology on campus
 Web Ontology Language (OWL) – various languages exist for defining ontological
relationships. The Web Ontology Language is the most current.
 Determines the requirements that a database must fulfill in order to function properly
for an organization
 When creating a data model you first create a conceptual model, which documents the
data and information within an organization and how its used
 The implementation of a conceptual model is called a logical model
 When engaging in data modeling, you take the following steps:





Planning and analysis – identify business requirements
Conceptual design – creating the model as a pure concept
Logical design – encoding the concept into SLQ programming
Physical design – determining exactly where the data will be stored
Implementation – applying the design to an actual database application, such as MySQL or
Oracle

 National standards from 157 countries
 The ISO develops technical specifications for intellectual, scientific, technological,
and economic activities

another and any hardware and software used to access the web must be able to
work together (Web Interoperability)
 Published more than 110 standards (W3C recommendations)
 W3C doesn’t force manufacturer compliance as a result recommendations can be
partially implemented
 VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwpdKxNf-V8

researchers concerned with the internet architecture and smooth operation of the
internet
