What's Going On? May 11th through May 15th

Web 1

The beginning part of the week will be devoted to wrapping up Lesson 12 on more CSS techniques
and responsive web design. At the end of the week, students will begin work on Lesson 13.  In this lesson, we will focus on how to format images for the web.  Along with this lesson, students will need to view the video lesson, read chapters 21 and 22 in our textbook, and complete the accompanying reading guide.  Additionally, students will have one web site to create, and ten multiple-choice questions to complete.  Students are considered "on pace" for the class if lesson 12 is completed by Wednesday, May 13th and lesson 13 is completed by Wednesday, May 20th.



Web 2

This week, students will be working on a multiple-part tutorial on creating a dice-based game.  Students will learn how to simulate rolling and drawing one die.  Once this is mastered, students will modify the code to draw two dice.  Students will also be introduced to how to evaluate, the value of the dice, how to "take turns" rolling the dice, and a few other techniques.  Students will then be tasked with creating a dice-based game of their own choosing.




App Dev 2

Even though we are not currently able to create Swift programs with XCode, we can still think about code.  You will find a Google Doc on our Blackboard site that includes a chart.  Using this document as a guide, take a look at some of the different things that you can do within a Swift app and discover how you would be able to make this happen.  Use Google to investigate the topics listed in the first column.  Based on your research, record what frameworks or libraries would be necessary to achieve the given task.  Also, list the permissions and privacy issues that will have to be addressed in order to write the code for the given topic.  Finally, paste in a link where you can learn about the framework/library.  When you have completed the given list, add two more elements to investigate on your own. The goal is to complete this investigation assignment by the end of the week.

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, we will continue to work with Python with the Tkinter GUI platform.  Students will be
able to choose their own project to show off some of the skills learned within Tkinter.  For this project, students must include the following items:

• At least 3 different Tkinter elements (Label, Slider, Entry)
• User interaction/input that drives the outcome
• Event (Click on a window, tap a button, etc)
• At least one custom function
• At least one image
• Color and font changes
• Well-organized and styled

Students will have the week to work on the self-directed TKinter project.
