My goal is to keep you up to date with what's going on in the classroom through this blog. Between the blog and our class schedule of events that will be posted on our BlackBoard class website, it is my hope that all students and parents will be informed about what's going on in the classroom whether we are learning virtually or face-to-face.
Where Can Students Find Everything?
One of the first things to keep in mind is that all of our class material will be found through our Blackboard class website. When students are learning virtually or are not able to attend class, this is the first place to look. This site will contain links to our content, assignments, and other resources.
How Is Attendance Taken?
On days that students are face-to-face, the teacher will complete the attendance process. On days when students are learning virtually, students must check in their own attendance within the timeframe of our class period. To do this, students will need to log in to their accounts on Infinite Campus. Here is a quick video that shows how to complete the attendance process: https://youtu.be/y2GlGugUjUI?t=346
Students who are assigned to Cohort 1 will meet face to face on Tuesdays and Thursdays and virtually on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Students who are assigned to Cohort 2 will meet face to face on Wednesdays and Fridays and virtually on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
School Schedule
Here is the hybrid schedule that we will follow: Students are expected to log in virtually during the time frame listed.
App Development 1
In this class, students will learn how to program for Apple devices using theSwift programming
language. This week, we will take a look at our programming environment and learn a little bit about how we will navigate our learning in the face-to-face and virtual environments.
Web 1
In this class, students will learn the basics of web page design using HTML and CSS. This week, we will take a look at our coding environment and learn a little bit about how we will navigate our learning in the face-to-face and virtual environments. This class is offered in partnership with WCTC, which means that students who enroll in this free program and complete the course successfully are eligible to earn WCTC college credit. We will also talk about the basics of web design.
AP Computer Science A
In this class, students will learn the Java programming language in preparation for the AP exam in May. This week, we will focus on some of the basic Java programming structures as well as some errors that we may encounter along the way. We will also take a look at our programming environment and learn a little bit about how we will navigate our learning in the face-to-face and virtual environments.
I am really excited to get to work with you this year. I hope we are all able to learn a lot and have some fun along the way!
