Today we are using Google Classroom to create a Journal that we will reflect in EVERY DAY ;) Please go and open your reflection right now. We are going to complete it for the first two days. 2. Then we are going to go to Quizlet and do some study sets. You will need to complete the learn for each of them. Learning Intention: Students will use math and coding skills together with problem solving to complete the exercise in Tynker! Students will be using a journal to reflect on activities and their Vocab Success Criterion: Lesson is complete, and Journal entries are complete for Monday through Thursday Vocabulary is complete for Learn for the current activities in Quizlet.

We are starting with Tynker 300 today Tuesday: 1. Join my Google Classroom HINT: codes are at the bottom of the page (use the [end] key to get to the bottom) Learning Intention: Students join the online community of the classroom by connecting through Google Classroom Success Criterion: Students successfully join and are connected throughout our many classroom activities using this method Standards: NETS 2a Students cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world. NETS 2b Students engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology, including social interactions online or when using networked devices. 2. NAME TAG Survey Complete it! Learning Intention: Students use the survey to convey information about themselves that they want to share with our class. Success Criterion: Students complete the survey that will be used to create their nametags for our class. We are building community Standards: NETS 2a Students cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world. NETS 2b Students engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology, including social interactions online or when using networked devices. 3. Initial 5 minute typing pre-test will be today using the LETTERLESS keyboards at Typing.com LEARNING INTENTION: Students will... keep their eyes off of their hands sit up straight (not uncomfortable) keep wrists from resting on the desk INCREASE THEIR SPEED & ACCURACY SUCCESS CRITERION: Students are NOT looking at their hands Speed 35 WPM or higher Accuracy 90% or higher required Students notice the difference in other classes STANDARDS: CTSA: 1A-DA-05 Store, copy, search, retrieve, modify, and delete information using a computing device and define the information stored as data. ISTE: TE10S2: Communication and Collaboration TE10S4: Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, and Decision Making TE10S6: Technology Operations and Concepts hardware. WHY? "I will use my perseverance to increase my speed and efficiency at keyboarding. That will build muscle memory so when I work on the computer, I will be able to focus on the work, and not the typing." 4. Code Refresher! Go to Code.org Log on with Google (the easy button please) Then do some of the puzzles! Lesson 1: Functions in Minecraft Lesson 2: Swimming Fish with Sprite Lab CSTA K-12 Computer Science Standards (2017) AP - Algorithms & Programming 1B-AP-08 - Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate. 1B-AP-11 - Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.

Friday:

Learning Intentions:

Students complete the quiz at Schoology for Tynker lessons 1-3 to show they know the content.

We will practice using correct ACADEMIC vocabulary for our content

We will have fun on assorted teams showing what we know.

Success Criterion

A passing score of 70% is required.

Students practice the vocabulary we know and are using at Tynker using Quizlet so they can do well on the competition.

Students do their best at Quizlet LIVE using their vocabulary

CSTA Standard

Students use academic vocabulary for their content.

Thursday

Tynker Programming

Lesson 3: Actor Positioning

In this lesson, students will learn how to show and hide Actors and move them using x- and y-coordinates. Coding concepts covered in this lesson include: Hide/Show, When Actor Clicked, and Go To.

New Code Blocks

: Make the Actor appear on the Stage.

: Set the position of an Actor to the position of the parameter (e.g., mouse-pointer, touch location).

: Move the Actor to the specified x- and y-coordinates on the Stage.

Learning Intention: Students will...
Complete the 2nd lesson on Animated Motion

Complete 3rd lesson Actor Positioning

Success Criterion: You will...

Have a Vocab words done - use PARAMETER

complete the activities in 301 Lessons 2 & 3(again if you did them last year).

Reflection for today - include your grade sheet that you got back today.

Standards
CSTA :
2-AP-13: Decompose problems and subproblems into parts to facilitate the design, implementation, and review of programs.

2-AP-17: Systematically test and refine programs using a range of test cases.
ISTE: 5c Students break problems into component parts, extract key information, and develop descriptive models to understand complex systems or facilitate problem-solving.

Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday Focus of the day: IT MUST WORK.

Choose a couple of Vocabulary words each day for this week for your journal:

Coding: Using a computer language to tell the computer what to do
