What's Going On? March 4th though March 8th

 Thought for the Week

Programming the Web 1

We will start off this week with some work days where students can work to complete our lesson 5
assignments: 5A - Black Goose and 5B - Allco Services.  At the end of this week, students will learn about how to apply more styles of our web pages using CSS.  Students will learn how to add colors, font changes, and more to enhance the look of our pages.  Along with lesson 6, students will have a reading assignment, a reading guide, and 10 multiple-choice questions.  Additionally, students will demonstrate their ability to add style changes to our web pages through three tutorial-based web assignments.

AP Computer Science Principles

This week, students will have the remainder of their class time to complete their official Create performance tasks.  By the end of class on Wednesday, students should have their code completed, or nearly completed, to submit to the AP board.  During class on Wednesday, I will lead students through the official submission process.  This will include submitting the program code, video, and personal project reference sheet.  All of these items must be uploaded to the AP portfolio site before April 30th at 11:00pm.  As I have been telling students, PLEASE do not wait until the last possible moment to submit the project!  

Once we have wrapped up our class project time, we will move on to learning about data.  We will explore the different types of numbering systems used by the computer, including binary, hexadecimal, and ASCII.

Looking Ahead

In preparation for the new block schedule next year, we will do a trial run.  Students will participate in the block schedule experience during the week of spring break.  See the schedule below to know what you can expect.
