What's Going On? April 6th through April 9th

Modified Schedule This Week


This week, classes will be held Monday through Thursday.  This means that we will follow a modified schedule this week with Monday as a "Tuesdsay-style" schedule, Tuesday as a "Wednesday-style" schedule, Wednesday as a "Thursday-style" schedule and Thursday as a "Friday-style" schedule.  There is no school on Friday, April 10th or Monday, April 13th.



Staying Organized

If anyone is looking for a way to stay organized, I made a template for keeping track of your daily virtual learning agenda as well as long-range goal planning. Feel free to use it if you would find it to be helpful. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YG3KCSbR3fieR6RE7IOiMYz5SSQsKEph-0RTJ0WpKd8/copy


Web 1

All this week, you will be working on your midterm assignment.  I have provided all of the photos and text that you will need to incorporate within your website.  I have also provided screenshots of what your finished product should look like.  Throughout the week, you will be expected to work on this assignment and come up with the best replica of the site that you can.

The midterm is designed to be open-resource.  This means that if you don't know how to do something, look it up!  If you get really stuck, you can ask me for a hint.  However, all work that you turn in must be your own.

All work for the midterm is due by the end of the day on Thursday, April 9, 2020.  I will also offer a "live" session via WebEx Teams at 9:00am on Monday if anyone would like to talk through the project requirements in real-time.

Web 2

This week, we will continue our study of JavaScript.  We will turn our focus to form validation.  There will be a short video lesson to be viewed on Monday.  I will also offer a "live" session via WebEx Teams at 9:30am on Monday if anyone would like to work through the lesson together in real-time.  Along with the rest of the week, students will have an assignment on form validation to apply to our old "St. Mary's" website.  

App Dev 2

This week, we will try to dive back into some Swift coding.  There is a website called repl.it that will allow us to do some work with the Swift platform, similar to what we have done in Playgrounds.  We can write some classes and code, but can't write the entire app.  I will post a video lesson for Monday and I will also be available for a "live" session via WebEx Teams at 11am on Monday if anyone would like to work through the lesson together in real-time. We will then have two mini formative projects to work on for our lessons on Tuesday and Wednesday to get used to the repl.it platform.

AP Computer Science Principles

The vast majority of students in the APCSP class requested to have one more week to focus on the AP Performance Tasks.  Since the entire AP score will be determined by these tasks, I feel it is necessary to give you the requested time. For those of you who are ready to move, I will provide some enrichment materials for you to check out.
