What's Going On? November 13th through November 17th

App Development

Now that we have finished our Tip Calculator app, it is time to start our next unit.  We will start this week studying arrays and students will complete an "Array Challenge" program.  Students will also see a formative on arrays mid-way through the week.  At the end of the week, we will check out how we can make multiple screens in our app and work through navigating between them.

Programming the Web

This week, we will continue our study of lesson 9 where students will work with floating and positioning.  Along with this week, students will have a reading guide due on Wednesday and will complete our 10 multiple choice questions during class on Thursday.  Along with this week, students will have 4 web assignments to create.  The four assignments are all tutorials with step-by-step instructions that appear in our textbook.



AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will continue working on our large-scale collaborative project on running a simulation for the "Prisoner's Dilemma".  We will run the simulation during class on Tuesday to see who has the best strategy.  Once this is complete, we will move on to our 1.4 unit on Images and Object-Oriented Libraries.  We will spend our last two class days of the week talking a little bit about abstraction and we will talk about the make up of a class and how functions fit into a class definition.
