All Crossroads@Meade Students:
I am taking some personal time to spend with my family. Please follow all directions from the substitute and work on following items in class today. THIS IS NOT A FREE DAY TO MESS AROUND! Make sure you are completing work as assigned. Your technology packet, questions & responses, and your letter to the editor are due by Friday, December 12th at 3pm for credit. No late entries will be accepted.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR WORK!
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!
STEP 1: GOOGLE+ COMMENT WITH SUBSTANCE
You May Watch Individually Or As A Class At The Teacher's Discretion.
Students will start by watching the video "Code Stars" (Click Here) and then open your Google+. You need to go to the Crossroads 2014-2015 Community Page and look for a posting that says "CODE STARS". Post a 3-4 Sentence COMMENT about the video. Your post should explain how you could use programming in your future career, and tell me about a specific project you are interested in working on for extra credit. Are you interested in creating a game, doing graphic animation, working on an application (IPhone/Android/Windows), or something else. Explain in your post what idea you have and why it interests you! If the substitute teacher wants to lead a discussion about different projects or your coding interests, let them!
STEP 2: Complete Your Code.Org "Hour Of Code" Program
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!
STEP 3: Go Beyond the "Hour Of Code" Program
Once they have completed the Hour of Code (20 Levels), students will click the link below to the Code.Org Intro Course while logged into CODE.ORG. Students will begin to complete levels for this course. They only need to view the videos during "UNPLUGGED" Lessons. I will be able to track their progress while they work. If there are any questions, a student should first try to ask for PEER HELP! PEER MENTORING is a Key Component of this class. If they need to email me at hscribnercaa@gmail.com, they are allowed too!
There is a prize for anyone who completes the entire INTRO COURSE (ALL LEVELS)!

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE TODAY!
