Important question! Please read!
Apr. 1st, 2009 06:12 pmI'm in a program to get my IT associate's degree. This program is an off-campus thing but still a part of the community college (so I am a college student and I still get credits for it). The program currently uses the name of "Get Into IT" and the members are known as the "GIT Squad".
Get Into IT is hosted by AIM Institute and taught by Metropolitan Community College, however, AIM's lawyer isn't very ok with the name "GIT Squad" because he thinks that Best Buy will bitch because it's "too close" to Geek Squad. So...NAME CHANGE.
The name that all of the members (including me) agreed on is "Team Beta Bytes" and our motto is "Taking a byte of IT one bit at a time". A "byte" is generally considered to be at least 8 bits, so that's where the "byte" and "bit" come from.
We decided to ask others outside of the group what they think the motto means to them.
Ok, here's the question:
To me, the motto means that we're taking in pieces (bits) of the whole field of IT (the byte). What do YOU think?
http://www.aiminstitute.org/college/problem-based-it-degree-program.html is AIM's link to the article they wrote, it also has our biographies with photos of us (I'm the one in the dragon t-shirt in the bios section :P). Also, we all have our diplomas but in the beginning they wanted people who didn't but never changed the article to reflect the change.
