What's Going On? September 23rd through September 27th

App Development 1

This week, students will complete our first summative end-of-unit app challenge, Hello World.  For
this project, students will demonstrate their knowledge of adding objects to the storyboard and modifying their properties through the attribute inspector.  Students will also demonstrate how to make modifications to objects through the code with IBOutlets and variables.  Students will be assessed on their ability to design storyboard as well as their ability to work with objects in the code.

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will work on their summative Scratch story/game.  Students will create the game on their own or in partners.  Once this is complete, students will use this as an opportunity to practice for the "Create" performance task that will be submitted to the AP Board in May.  Students will create a 1-minute video highlighting the features of the app. Students will also write a few short reflections on the purpose of the app, the development process, as well as explaining a few elements of the code.





Programming the Web 1

This week, students will learn how to create links on a web page.  We will learn how to link to an external page, to a page within our website, as well a link within a website (this is called linking to a fragment).  Along with this week, students will read chapter 6 in our textbook, complete the accompanying reading guide, as well as take our multiple-choice 10-question assessment.  Additionally, students will have two web assignments to complete to practice these skills.
