This week, students will have work time on our two final summatives for the semester. Students will first work on our "Rock, Paper, Scissors" end of unit app challenge where students will write an app to play the classic game against the computer.
Once this is complete, students will work on their Swift Technique investigation project. For this summative, students can work alone or in small groups to learn about something new that can be implemented in an iPhone app. In the past, students have investigated scroll view, embedding sound and video, MapKit, TableView, a timer, and more. Students will also create a screencast video taking us through step by step how to implement their new technique.
Students will have the remainder of the semester to work on our final project. For this assignment, students will create a web site that includes four pages. Throughout the four pages, students will highlight many of the techniques we have learned about. Students will demonstrate their knowledge of HTML and CSS coding by creating and designing a website of their choosing.
This week, students will continue dive into our seventh unit on Arrays and Array Lists. This week, we will focus specifically on two-dimensional arrays and ArrayLists. In order to keep students working with the material, students should be analyzing the material while completing the guided notes template, completing our mini-review exercises (written), and our practice exercises (coding).
