ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Students will learn basic computer programming using Code.Org online. Students will understand the basic vocabulary used in programming. Students will also be able to explain why it is important for everyone to learn to code and how it can provide equity in our society.
STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!
READ ALL DIRECTIONS BELOW BEFORE STARTING WORK!
Today is the start of Computer Science Education Week! We are part of 180 nations and thousands of schools worldwide who are concentrating on Computer Science this week!
STEP 1: GOOGLE+ COMMENT WITH SUBSTANCE
You May Watch Individually Or As A Class At The Teacher's Discretion.
(Click the Title To Watch)
Open your Google+ page! You need to go to the Crossroads 2014-2015 Community Page and look for a posting that says "HUMANITY". Post a 3-4 Sentence COMMENT about the video. Your post should explain how you think the speaker in the video is right or wrong, and why. Support your thoughts with at least 2 facts (not your opinion). You may have to search the internet for support for your opinion. If the substitute teacher wants to lead a discussion about this topic, let them!
STEP 2: Complete Your Code.Org "Hour Of Code" Program
If You Cannot Log In To CODE.ORG Go To Code.Org, Click Learn And
Work On One Of The Levels Without Signing In!
Students will sign into their CODE.ORG account with their classroom GMAIL Address and the password they created on Wednesday. Students will continue to work on the programming levels in order on their individual lesson page. They can use headphones for watching the training videos only! NO MUSIC OR OTHER VIDEOS ALLOWED!
Most of you should be done with your HOUR OF CODE and have joined our INTRO COURSE. There will be some repeated material, but the INTRO COURSE has a number of additional lessons that you might be interested in.
STEP 3: Peer Programming Day!
Today you must use Peer Programming to complete any levels. Find a partner, watch the PEER PROGRAMMING Video (Click Here), then work together to work on the Code.Org Levels. You will work on levels for the partner with the fewest levels complete first. Then you can work on levels for the other partner. You may only use one laptop per partner team at a time. You may not have any other laptops open while you work. No music or other videos playing except for the ones that are on the Code.Org Website!
