What's Going On? March 19th through March 23rd

App Development 1

Last week, students should have finished up our introduction to working with functions.  We will start off this week with a short formative assessment to check our current level of understanding.  This week, students will spend some time working with conditionals.  Students will participate in some class notes with examples and will complete a "Conditionals Challenge".





App Development 2

This week, we will spend some time learning about "modal segues".  This allows a new View Controller window to appear on top of the currently running window.  Once this is dismissed, the control is transferred back to where the code left off.  We will also take some time to look at incorporating GPS into our apps.  We will learn how to make a map appear in the app, how to center on a specific location, how to find the user's current location, and how to mark other locations on the map.



Programming the Web 2

This week, we will continue our investigation of JavaScript.  We will continue to look at how we can declare and use variables and we will also learn how to define functions.  Students will have some time this week to work on our "Menu" website that will automatically display a restaurant's daily special that will automatically update depending on the current day of the week.




AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will continue their 12 hours of class time to work on the AP "Create" task.  This performance task will account for 24% of the AP score.  Students should be prepared to upload their "Explore" and "Create" performance tasks by April 15th.
