This is just a reminder that this week is a shortened week where we will not have school on Friday and students have an early release day on Thursday. This means that Monday will have a "Tuesday-style" schedule, Tuesday, will have a "Wednesday-style" schedule, Wednesday will have a "Thursday-style" schedule, and Thursday will have a modified "Friday-style" schedule. Our third quarter grades will also be posted on Thursday afternoon.
Programming the Web 2
This week, we will continue our study of JavaScript. We will investigate how JavaScript can be used to change features on an image and how we can use JavaScript to create a slideshow.
App Development 1
This week, students will take a look at "gesture recognizers" in Swift. That is, how we can design our app to respond to different touches on the screen. Once we are finished with this, students will start our end of unit app challenge: Tip Calculator.
App Development 2
This week, students will finish up our Mobile Mapper "Hackwich" where we are learning to use GPS location services and add locations to our map with a pin. This is our lead-in activity to our end of unit app challenge: 'Za Hunter.
AP Computer Science Principles
Students will have all three class days this week to work on our "Create" performance task. Students will be on pace to finish within the 12 hours of provided class time if the app portion is complete by the end of class on Tuesday. This will give students the remaining class periods to work on creating the one minute video highlighting the app's features and writing responses to the writing prompts. The majority of the score for the AP "Create" task is found in the written responses.
All AP Performance tasks (Explore and Create), will need to be uploaded to AP Central on April 15th. The performance tasks account for 40% of the overall AP exam score. Please look through the scoring rubric as well as the code.org survival guides BEFORE uploading to the AP Central website.
Summer Camps
I recently came across two summer camps in STEM and I thought I would pass along the information.
