What's Going On? October 10th through October 14th

Thought for the Week

AP Computer Science Principles

We will start off this week by wrapping up Activity 1.1.8: Turtles in Traffic.  Through this activity,
students will work with lists and conditionals in order to get a series of our "turtle" graphics to move across the screen.  Within the program, we will learn how to detect a "collision".

After this, we will move on to our first summative assignment for the year.  For this project, students will implement variables, lists, and conditionals in order to create some sort of "Turtle Art".  Students will also write responses about how their code works.  This is in preparation for our AP "Create" Performance task that will be submitted to the AP Board as part of our AP exam score.

App Development

This week, we will dive into two different topics: "Operators" and "TextFields".  We will start off the
week by experimenting with some different math operations that we can perform within the Swift programming language.  Later in the week, we will implement the use of textfields so that we can get some input from the user in order to perform calculations "on demand".  

Programming the Web 1

We will start off this week by wrapping up Unit 5 on Images and Image Maps.  Students will start
Monday's class by completing our lesson review questions and will then have the rest of the class period to finish up Web Assignments 5A (Black Goose Bistro Gallery) and 5B (Allco Service Locations).  After this, we will move into our sixth unit of the year where we will learn how to define style with CSS.  In this unit, students will learn how to apply background colors, modify text, and much more.
