What's Going On? December 3rd through December 7th

App Development

This week, we will focus in on creating multiple screens and navigating between them.  We will set up our storyboard and define what each screen looks like, we will create a new coding file and attach it to each screen, and then talk about how we are able to travel between screens.

Programming the Web

At the beginning of the week, we will spend some time working on our lesson 11 web assignments on responsive web design.  Students should have their reading guides completed by Wednesday's class and we will complete our lesson 11 review questions on Thursday.  Once this is complete, we will spend the rest of the time diving into Photoshop and learning how to properly format images for a web page.

AP Computer Science A

During class on Monday, we will talk about common loop algorithms and on Tuesday we will finish the unit discussion by talking about nested loops.  For the remainder of the week, students will have time to work on our summative programming project #6.  Students should be prepared to finish this project by the end of the week.  Additionally, students should complete the review exercises which can be found on Google Classroom.
