What's Going On? February 8th through February 12th

 Thought for the Week

AP Computer Science A

This week, students will work on our first lab of the year.  This 'Consumer Review Lab' will give students a chance to examine and work within a larger body of code.  Students will spend some time figuring out how to interpret the code and will have the opportunity to add their own!  The focus of this lab is to use programming to examine the words written in a consumer review that someone might post on a site like Yelp or Trip Advisor.  At the end of the week, we will start our 8th unit on Classes, Interfaces, and Inheritance.

App Dev 2

This week, students will spend some time working with loops.  Loops allow us to repeat a portion of code and will also allow us to examine all of the elements within a collection.  We will spend Monday's class reading about loops and completing our class-led 'hackwich'.  Students will work with our lab on Tuesday and on the Code Challenge (formative) during class on Wednesday and Thursday.  We will end the week with a short multiple-choice formative within our Blackboard site.

Programming the Web 2

We will start off this week wrapping up Friday's lesson on navigation techniques.  We will spend time on Tuesday talking about how to design a logo for our portfolio site that we will use to highlight our work throughout the semester.  The rest of the week will be used by students to design and create their portfolio site home page.
