What's Going On? December 14-18th

Hour of Code

Thank you to all of the students that participated in last week's Hour of Code event.  As I write this blog post, over 166 million students from 180+ countries participated in this worldwide Hour of Code event.  If you were not able to join us or you would like to find out more about computer programming, you can check out the code.org website or the Hour of Code website that I used for our event.






Fundamentals of Programming

This week students will be working with lists and images in order to create the "Presidential Quiz" app.  Students will learn how to work through items in a list and to incorporate a timing element into the app.  By the end of the week, students will have created the basic app and added some customized elements to it.






Programming the Web 1


This week students will be working on lesson 12.  For this week, we will focus on how to format
images for a website using tools in Photoshop.  We will also focus on creating a layout.  Students will have the lesson 12 reading guide, the lesson 12 review questions, and web assignment 12A to complete for the week.  We are winding down in the semester and we only have one more formal lesson week for the course.  Soon students will be working on their final web page assignments which will be due during the last week of the semester.  


Programming the Web 2

This week students will dive into JavaScript.  Students will learn how to add an interactive piece to their web pages.  One of the first assignments we will work on for the week involves creating a web page for a restaurant that will automatically show the daily specials.  We will also work on a "Countdown" web page that will automatically calculate and display the number of days until winter break.
