What's Going On? May 9th-13th

Fundamentals of Programming

This week students will work on wrapping up their Presidential Quiz Apps and then will get started on the Stock Market App.  In this app, students will be introduced to importing web data into the app in real time.  Students will create an app that allows the web user to type in a company's stock market symbol and the app will display the current stock price.


Programming the Web 1

This week we will start our last unit for the semester.  We have been creating web pages all semester, but we haven't talked about how to make them visible online.  Students will create their own free hosting accounts using 5gbfree.com in order to host their pages.  Additionally, this week students will work on our lesson 13 review assignment.  For this assignment, we will add three additional pages to our lesson 12 assignment.  By completing lesson 12, students have already created the general outline for all of the supplemental pages for lesson 13.  We will also need to add links in order to connect all of the pages.  Students will also have our lesson 13 review questions at the end of the week.


Programming the Web 2

This week students will continue to work on their "jumping letters" animation.  When this is complete, students will work on the "North Animation" which continues to use several layers to keep track of the items in the animation.  We will also introduce polygon shapes and rotations.  We will finish the week by working on the "handwriting" animation where students learn how to create text and break it apart.
