This week, we will start our fourth lesson of the semester. Students will investigate how to create links between pages and within our pages. Along with this week, students will read chapter 6 and complete the accompanying reading guide. Students will also have two web assignments, 6A and 6B, to complete throughout the week, highlighting the use of links within our web pages. We will end the week with our ten multiple-choice questions. Students are considered "on-pace" for the class will have completed lesson 6 by the end of the class by Friday. Students who are not on pace should come in during the JIT time this week on Wednesday and Thursday from 7-8am in room 300.
Programming the Web 2
Now that students have investigated form fields and tables, it is time to put the knowledge to the test. Students will complete a "St. Mary's Form" that highlights the use of proper formatting and form fields. This assignment will serve as the basis of a later assignment where we will use JavaScript for form validation. Students will also create a form for their portfolio site.
App Development 2
This week, students will work on our first summative end of unit app challenge for the semester. Students will be creating an "Assignment Notebook" app which allows users to enter an assignment, save it, and delete it. Students have the option to add more detailed information about the assignment and can even add date information to it using the Date Picker function embedded into XCode.
AP Computer Science Principles
This week, we will continue investigating Cybersecurity. Students will break up into pairs/small groups to research some major viruses and attacks that have been deployed. Students will report their findings and we will have a class discussion about the types of attacks and some ways that can be used to protect ourselves from online threats. Later in the week, we will talk about different types of encryption and some ethics related to online behavior. Once we have wrapped up our discussion on cybersecurity, students will begin their 12 hours of class time devoted to our APCPS " Create" Performance Task. For this task, students will write their own program (or may work in pairs) that meets a list of requirements. Once the program is complete, students will write their responses to the writing prompts. All performance tasks, including the "Explore" and "Create" tasks are due by April 30th to the AP board. Students should have submitted their finalized "Explore" task by Friday, February 14th.
