What's Going On? November 30th through December 4th

 Thought for the Week



Virtual Learning

We will spend some time focusing on how to be successful digital learners.  Now that we are switching back to the hybrid model, it is time to reflect on what is going well in terms of virtual learning and what would be going better.  We will talk about the skills necessary to be successful learners and some tips & tricks to help make the best of our hybrid learning situation.


AP Computer Science A

This week, we will begin our sixth unit on loops.  During class on Monday, students will view a couple of short videos put together by the people at AP Classroom and complete a short check-in assignment to act as our intro to the unit.  During class on Tuesday and Wednesday, we will spend time focusing more in-depth on 'while' loops.  During class on Thursday and Friday, we will focus on 'for' and 'do' loops as well as sentinel values.





App Development 1

We will spend the first part of the week continuing our work with conditionals.  During class on Monday, we will review conditionals and write a couple of coding examples.  Then, students will have several class periods to work within our Conditionals Code Challenge.  We will wrap up the week with a "Gesture Recognizer" demo.




Programming the Web 1

We will start off the week by working on Web Assignment 11A where students will practice some techniques related to web page layout.  In order to complete this assignment, students can choose between creating a layout using float, flexbox, or positioning.  At the end of the week, students will begin working on lesson 12 where we will investigate some different techniques associated with responsive web design.  Looking ahead, students will have their lesson 12 reading guide due on Tuesday, December 8th.
