What's Going On? February 1st through February 5th

 Thought for the Week

AP Computer Science A

This week, we will wrap up our seventh unit on Arrays and ArrayLists.  Students will have our class periods on Monday and Tuesday devoted to working on our summative programming project #7.  During Wednesday's class, we will review and we will complete our summative (and turn in our programming project) during class on Thursday.  The computer lab is open in the morning as soon as students are able to enter the building. Students who need additional lab time or help are welcome to come in before school.  I am available via WebEx during this time, as well.

App Development 2

This week, we will continue on with our study of collections, specifically Arrays and Dictionaries.  During class on Monday, students will work through our Collections Lab.  The lab will give students the opportunity to work more with arrays and dictionaries.   During the rest of the week, students will participate in the "Collections Coding Challenge", a formative.

Programming the Web 2

At the beginning of the week, students will work in pairs to mark-up a sample prototype website.  Students will use a pair-programming technique where one student types and the other offers information. Throughout the class, students will switch roles periodically. This will allow students to brainstorm and troubleshoot through problems together. At the end of the week, we will explore different navigation techniques and also talk about how we can design a logo for our portfolio site.
