What's Going On? September 21st-25th

Fundamentals of Programming

Last week in class we had a change in plans. Rather than proceeding to the "Paint Pot" app, students were introduced to the "Soundboard App".  This project gives students the opportunity to work with a partner in order to create their own app.  The requirements of this project include:

  • a complex user interface 
  • at least four media clips
  • some decision making (if)
Students will continue to work on the project throughout this week.  We will also review some key terms such as events, event handlers, function calls, and parameters.


Programming the Web 1

This week we will continue our study of lesson three.  For this lesson, students will need to read chapter 5 in their textbooks and complete the reading guide by Monday's class.  On Monday we will talk about some strategies for understanding the key concepts of web design as well as strategies for completing the lesson three review questions.  

Students will also have the opportunity to finish up our lesson 3 web page projects.  Lesson three focuses on adding lists and other HTML structure to our web pages. Students are considered "on pace" in this class if they have completed lesson 3 by the start of class on Thursday.


Programming the Web 2

Students should have completed the codecademy.com online tutorial which refreshed our memories of basic HTML and CSS techniques.  This week Web 2 students will work to create their web page portfolios that will serve as the backbone for the course.  Students may choose to create an online portfolio for a resume, they can create a website for a local business, or create a website that will work to display the project for another class.
