Semester Exam
Semester exams are quickly approaching. Check out the schedule:
App Development 1
This week, students should be working on their rock-paper-scissors or tic-tac-toe app. This is our final summative complete app project for the semester. Students should work to complete this app by the end of the week. Once this is complete, students should work on finding a new swift technique to investigate. Our curriculum partner, Mobile Makers, has a contest available to our students who investigate a new swift technique and submit their project by 5pm on Friday, January 19th. Check out details of the contest here.
Programming the Web 1
At the end of last week, students should have finished our lesson 13 web assignment. We will wrap up lesson 13 on Monday by taking our multiple-choice review question assessment. Once this is complete, students will have the rest of the semester, including exam time, to work on our final web assignment project. For this project, students must design and create their own website. I have had several students mention that they would like to create a web page for a family business. Other students expressed interest in creating a resume site. I would be more than happy to help students brainstorm ideas for the final project. Additionally, we will have a final 20 question multiple-choice assessment based on the 130 questions we have seen throughout the semester. This assessment will NOT be open-book, open-note.
AP Computer Science Principles
This week, we will continue our study of web pages. This week, we will focus on internet protocols and then we will spend some time examining some of the languages used to create web pages: HTML and CSS
Students should be working on our practice "explore" summative assessment. I checked in with students on their topics last week and hopefully, the research portion of the explore task is well underway. Students should be turning in their explore summative assessments by Friday.
For our final exam, students will have a summative assessment that will be based on what they might see on the AP exam in May.
Registering for the AP Exam
The "early registration" period for the AP test is coming to an end. Students need to register by Tuesday, January 30 at 1am. After that, a late fee of $10 will be added. The final date for registration is Wednesday, February 7th at 11:00pm.
