What's Going On? December 16th through December 20th

Winter Spirit Week!

This week, we will have a spirit week with different themed dress-up days.  On Friday, we will run a modified schedule and there will be an assembly with a student-staff volleyball game at the end of the day.  Please note: Tuesday is also club picture day.  Students should listen to the announcements and report to the auditorium when their group is called.






App Development 1

This week, students will be working on their summative end-of-unit app challenge, Word Play.  This is a Mad-Lib style app where the user is prompted to enter a few words on the first screen.  After a button is pressed, the user is taken to a second screen where the words are inserted into a story.  Students will turn in this assignment before leaving for winter break.





AP Computer Science Principles

This week, we will wrap up our lessons on modifying images in Python.  Students have now had some time to work with modifying an image pixel by pixel using numpy and by working with the entire image in the Python Imaging Library (PIL).





Programming the Web 1

This week, students will be wrapping up their work on assignment 14a.  Students will be creating their sub-pages for the Clear Reflections Website.  When the assignment is complete, students will host it live online.  Students should also be prepared to complete our ten multiple choice question assessment during class on Tuesday.

What's Going On? December 9th through December 13th

App Development

This week, students will focus on investigating the properties of segues and how to create multiple
view controllers for our apps.  We have already applied this feature once in our pre-unit hackwich called "Intergalactic Travel".  This week will focus on reinforcing those skills.






AP Computer Science Principles


This week, students will take a look at the Python Imaging Library, or PIL.  This will allow students
to manipulate images as a whole using filters as compared to last week when we were able to manipulate images pixel by pixel.  Students will learn how to round the corners and place a frame around all images contained with in a folder.





Programming the Web 1

This week, students will learn about how to take their webpages that have been created locally on
their computers and learn how to host their pages live online on a web server.  Students will learn about the different components associated with hosting a page and will place their completed "Clear Reflections Photography" four page website online.
