Abstract
A flood of information online from tweets, news feeds, status updates, photos, government databases, private, and other sources contribute to the volume, velocity, and variety of Big Data artifacts available today. Yet introducing Big Data concepts and technologies in the classroom often is designated for advanced students in database or programming courses. This workshop will share several activities appropriate to incorporate Big Data concepts in the introductory IT classroom. Using free online resources from Google, the US Government, Wikipedia, IMDb, and other providers, participants will learn to query and analyze real world data, create infographics and visualizations, and understand the impact of Data as a Service as a model for cloud computing.
