What's Going On? September 6th through September 9th

 Thought for the Week

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will continue our study of the Python programming language with the use of the
Turtle platform.  Through our lessons, will learn about Object-Oriented Programming languages and some other basics of what we can do with the Turtle platform in Python.

App Development

Last week, we started to create our first app, a basic flashlight.  We will start off the week by finishing it up.  Next, we will backtrack and talk a little bit more in detail about how some of the elements of the flashlight app work.  Our focus for this week will be "Actions and Outlets".   Students will do a short reading and learn about the details of these items.  We will also put our learning into practice with a short "hackwich", or coding demo.  

Programming the Web 1

This week, we will focus on the first unit of the year on HTML basics and layouts.  Students will spend Tuesday's class completing our reading jigsaw activity.  We will spend Wednesday's class wrapping up the jigsaw reading activity and completing the lesson 1 reading guide.  We will wrap up the week by completing our lesson 1 summative multiple choice review questions.

Also during this week, students will have the opportunity to enroll in this class to earn FREE transcripted credit through WCTC.  Students who complete the required work and earn a "C" or higher based on the WCTC grading scale can earn FREE credit in Web Design.  Please contact me if you have any questions about this wonderful opportunity.
