Fundamentals of Programming
Last week students finished up their Soundboard App projects and PaintPot apps. I was really excited to see such creativity with the soundboard projects. I can't wait to see what you create next!
This week we will do a formative check-in to make sure we understand why our programs work. In class on Friday students completed a worksheet to further investigate parameters, properties, and variables. We will review the worksheet on Monday and prepare for a formative assessment.
Later in the week students will talk about how our apps can incorporate updating variables and timing. Students will have the opportunity to test these skills when we create the "Mole Mash" app.
Students are considered "on pace" if they have updated their portfolios through the "PaintPot" app and have completed the "Mole Mash" app by the end of the week.
Programming the Web 1
Last week students finished up lesson 4 where we learned how to incorporate links into our web pages. This week students will learn how to properly link images and create "Image Maps".
This week students will also be introduced to the industry-standard program "DreamWeaver". This is a program that a professional web designer may use to design and build websites. Up until this point we have been using a text-based editor. Now we will be introduced to this state of the art software that will allow us to add more features to our pages.
Students will be considered "on pace" for the course if they have completed the lesson 5 reading guide, the lesson 5 review questions, and projects 5A, 5B, and 5C by the end of class on Friday.Programming the Web 2
This week students should be putting the finishing touches on their portfolio home pages. Students should upload the page to a shared folder on Google Drive. Once the home page is complete, we will investigate some more advanced CSS tricks to add to our pages. We will try out a "button press" concept together in class and then we will add the feature to our home page.
