Fundamentals of Programming
This week students will complete their second summative assessment for the semester: the animation unit creative project. Students have been busy designing and implementing their own apps. Some students have decided to recreate games such as "Asteroids", "Pac Man", and "Breakout". Other students have created sports-related apps, creating baseball and basketball games. This week, students will put the finishing touches on their apps, answer some reflection questions, and post their apps to their portfolio sites. Once this is complete, we will talk about some other elements of app development: lists and locations. We will talk about an app, "No Texting While Driving", which sends an automatic reply via text message when a person is driving.
Programming the Web 1
This week we will work on lesson 10 of our unit where we will talk about new methods to organize page layouts. We will explore the use of margins, negative margins, and floats as they relate to fixed layouts, liquid layouts, and hybrid layouts. We will create some sample layouts that students could potentially use as the basis for their final project. As far as assignments go for this week, we will have a reading guide, our lesson review questions, and assignments 10A, 10B, and 10C.
Programming the Web 2
This week students will work to finish up their "Countdown" webpage that uses JavaScript to countdown the number of days until the end of the school year. Students have also been working with "conditionals" to display special messages for the exam schedule during the last week of school, a special message to display during summer, and how to disable the message once the next school year begins. After this assignment is complete, students will work on creating a random number to display a different quote on a webpage each time it loads. Students will work with random numbers and continue to work with arrays to complete this assignment.
