What's Going On? September 14th - 18th

Fundamentals of Programming

This week we will be finishing up our "I Have A Dream" apps and analyzing the structures involved.  So far we have been introduced to some very powerful programming concepts and we didn't even realize it!  We have talked about events, event handlers, and if...else statements.  These properties are very powerful and will be utilized heavily throughout the course.

Once we finish analyzing the "I Have A Dream" app, we will move into the "Paint Pot" app where students will be introduced to the "canvas" tool.

Early this week students will finish up their lesson 2 web assignments and complete the lesson 2 review questions.  All lesson review questions are open book and open note.  The questions are also available online so I encourage students to plan their answers BEFORE we take the assessment.

Later in the week we will move on to lesson 3 where students will learn some more HTML techniques.  Students will learn how to write code for lists, quotes, and address tags.  Also this week, students will read chapter 5 in the textbook and complete the lesson 3 review questions.

Students will continue to work on reviewing HTML and CSS by completing the codecademy.com online tutorial.  Students are expected to have a 100% completion of the tutorial by the end of the week.  Once we have been reminded of some important HTML and CSS concepts, students will begin to plan their online portfolio site that will serve as the backbone for the course.
