AP Computer Science A
This week, we will begin our work on our fourth unit where we will focus on the different ways we can store and interact with numbers. For our asynchronous class on Monday, students will work with our AP Classroom site and view the four short videos related to variables and expressions. Students will have two short quizzes to complete prior to Tuesday's class in order for me to check our level of understanding on the topics. Students will have four practice exercise sets to complete throughout the week, as it is important to code a little bit each day. We also have our reading assignment and the accompanying reading guide to complete by Friday of this week.
App Development
This week, students will spend the majority of our time working with operators. That means, applying some basic math functions within our apps. For Monday's class, students will watch our WebEx Team Meeting Video and complete a short practice assignment within the Swift Playgrounds app. Students will complete a code challenge on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday, students will summarize their learning with a technical blog post and a formative multiple-choice assessment. We will wrap up the week by taking a look at textfields.
Programming the Web 1
Students will start off the week by working on web assignments 6B and 6C. Both of these assignments are tutorials taken from our textbook. For Monday's assignment, students should view the video lesson on how to get started with assignment 6B and complete the tutorial. Our lesson 6 reading guide should also be turned in on Monday. Students should start pre-planning their answers for our summative multiple-choice questions on Tuesday. On Wednesday, students should upload their completed lesson 6 web assignments and complete the 10 multiple-choice question assessment on Blackboard. At the end of the week, students will begin working on lesson 7 where we will investigate how to add colors and background images to our web pages using CSS.
