What's Going On? March 7-11th

Fundamentals of Programming

This week we will be exploring animation in MIT App Inventor.  Students will start the week by learning how to get a simple object (a ball image sprite) to move across the screen using a clock element and by using a heading element.  Once the animation challenge is complete, students will start working on the "Pong" app.  This is very similar to the arcade-style game and students will be able to apply their knowledge of animation to a game-style app.





Programming the Web 1

This week students will begin work on lesson 7.  This week we will explore colors and backgrounds using CSS properties.  Students will have a reading guide to complete to guide students through the text in chapter 13, our lesson 7 review questions, and web assignments 7a, 7b, and 7c.  Students are considered "on pace" for the course if lesson 7 is completed by the end of class on Friday.  Students who need additional time in the computer lab may talk with me about gaining access to the lab.  The lab is available every morning beginning at 7am and by appointment after school.


Programming the Web 2

At the beginning of the week, students will wrap up their image gallery for their redesigned web page.  Once this is complete, we will take a closer look at tables and forms.  We will learn how to create a form in order to get information from our web user.  We will also learn how to format items using table properties.
