Since I left academia last year, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be an educator in our current landscape. Considering the amount of change we're experiencing with our technology, with funding, and its potential impacts to society, I set out to answer how I could see myself still playing a role in education at a scale I can deal with.

Hi everyone, so I wanted to share a little bit about my first course on Backpack, which is the personal learning site that I'm building.

The name of the course is "Dynamic Site Generation with Markdown & Django". I actually wanted to call it "not another Django course," but the reason I didn't is because I actually think it's different from everything else you'll find out there.

This is a hands-on walk-through of how to create your own dynamic blog using Mark Down and Django together in a way that I haven't seen before.

Introduction

I'm extremely excited to be able to tell you about my next upcoming course, which is called Intelligent Product Design, currently in development. You can go to my website right now and pre-register for it. With any luck, it will be released around the beginning of August.
