Gear Up Reflection Questions

• What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

Empathy plays a large role in my current job working with young children. I am constantly working to try and understand the children’s point of view, especially when it comes to their frustrations, conflicts, and learning styles. More generally, I think of empathy often as recognizing the gaps in our own understanding of other people’s experiences. Where these gaps exist I strive to trust the words of people who have lived through these experiences. I think this has helped me in relationship-building with my students over the years and also in my friendships.

Session 4 Readings and Responses

Assignment 1 (30 min)

Read Turing Instructor David Whitaker's article on Git and GitHub

• Use the article and outside resources (Google!) to describe the general process of a collaborative git workflow in the space below.

Git can be used locally (offline) making it easy for team members to work on the same project. They can push their commits to GitHub when they are ready to create a repository. Commits come with a message (ex: Initial commit) to explain what changes were made. When it comes time to collaborate a developer can make a pull request. Once a pull request is reviewed changes can be deployed. If this causes issues we can revert back to the master branch. If changes look good, they can be merged with the master branch. GitHub makes collaborating easier for developers as they (we!) can keep track of changes over time. If there is an issue with the code, these resources help us to solve the issue and ev
