Students need a little bit more time to work on "Tip Calculator", so Monday will be a work day. When we are finished with the "Tip Calculator" App, we will move into our "Word Play" app. For this unit, students will learn how to use Arrays and how to navigate between two different view controllers. Along with this week, students will have the "Arrays Challenge" and an "Arrays Formative".
App Development 2
The "Za Hunter" app has proven to be a challenge, so we will spend class time on Monday and Tuesday to finish up the app. Upon completion of the "Za Hunter" App, we will move into our last teacher-directed app for the semester: Breakout. In order to create this app, students will need to become familiar with "Sprite Kit". This will allow us to create an animation within our app. Students will be introduced to this topic by creating a "Ninja" app.
Programming the Web 2
This week, we will continue our study of JavaScript. Students will be introduced to techniques that will allow us to finish up their Mad-Lib-style story based on user input. We will also learn how to create a slideshow using JavaScript.
AP Computer Science Principles
This week, students will spend some more time talking about cybersecurity and the internet. Students will work on completing assignment 2.3.2, which focuses on the use of prime numbers for encryption. Once this is complete, students will take a practice AP multiple choice exam. We will analyze our results to determine which concepts we need to review before heading into our AP written exam.
Students should have uploaded the draft versions of their performance tasks during class on Friday. I would encourage students to take one last look through their work to make sure everything is included. Students will be submitting their performance tasks by Wednesday, April 25th.
