What's Going On? January 25th through January 28th

 Thought for the Week

Welcome to the second semester!

Welcome to the Second Semester!

Hello Computer Science Students!  My name is Mrs. Kamenar and I will be working with you during your computer science class this year. This is my 17th year teaching math and computer science at Waukesha North. This year I will be teaching Honors Geometry, Math Readiness, App Development 1, AP Computer Science Principles, Programming the Web 1, and Yearbook. In addition to teaching, I am also the head women's cross country coach and yearbook advisor. I hope that everyone had a great first semester and that we are ready to learn about computer science! 

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.  This site will contain links to our content, assignments, and other resources.

AP Computer Science Principles

As we begin the second semester, we will continue with our lesson 2.2 activities.  This week, we will focus on Activity 2.2.3: Demystifying Data Transmission. In this activity, we will learn about how data is shared across the internet, explore how information is retrieved, and learn about how data can be compressed.

App Development

In this class, students will learn how to program for Apple devices using the Swift programming
language. This week, we will take a look at our programming environment and create our first app: a flashlight!

Programming the 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 will talk about the different layout choices web designers can use when creating a website. 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.
