What's Going On? January 2nd and January 3rd

Welcome Back!

I hope everyone had some time to rest and relax over winter break!  Hopefully, we are ready to tackle the rest of this semester!


App Development

This week, we will participate in our pre-unit hackwich called "Three Letter Word".  This app will
give students a taste of many of the elements that may be included in our final summative end-of-unit app challenge.







AP Computer Science A

This week, students will begin work on their "Create" performance task for the AP board.  Throughout the next several weeks, students will define their own project and have 12 hours of class time to program the project, reflect on its creation, and create a video highlighting its features.  This program will be submitted to the AP Board by April as part of the AP exam.




Programming the Web 1

This week, students will officially begin work on our final web site project.  For this, students must

create a website that contains a minimum of four web pages.  Students should demonstrate their knowledge of proper HTML and CSS techniques in order to format the content in an aesthically-pleasing way.  Students will have until the exam date to complete this project and any other work that they would like to have considered as part of their semester grade.  Students who have signed up for the transcripted course through WCTC will need to earn a "C" or higher for the course and complete the midterm and final projects.



Planning Ahead

Here is the first exam schedule for January 22nd through January 24th.
