What's Going On? October 7th through October 11th

App Development 1

At the beginning of this week, we will wrap up our discussion and practice with mathematical and logical operators.  Students will practice these skills through our "Operators Code Challenge" assignment and demonstrate their knowledge on a quiz on BlackBoard.  Towards the end of the week, we will start out a more formal discussion on textfields.  Students will gain experience getting data from our app users and processing it. 



Programming the Web 1

During class on Monday, students will wrap up our fifth lesson of the year.  All lesson 5 image assignments (5a and 5b) must be uploaded to BlackBoard by the end of class on Monday.  On Tuesday we will begin our sixth unit where students will focus on adding style to their webpages through CSS.  Along with this week, students will need to read chapters 11 and 12 while completing the accompanying reading guide.  This will be due at the beginning of class on Thursday.  On Friday, students will complete our weekly 10 multiple-choice questions.  Students will also have three tutorial-based web assignments to create and turn in.

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will continue working with the MIT App Inventor platform.  Students will work with several different functions available in App Inventor and work on connecting it to what we have learned about variables roles.  Students will also have some time to modify some existing code.  Students will be working on Activities 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 from our PLTW curriculum this week.
