Week of Feb 24 to Feb 27
1. Scratch de-bugging challenges - work in pairs to debug.
1. scratch.mit.edu/projects/10745563/
2a. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10890560/
Continue to progress through the levels in Code.org. Use your self-assessment skills to decide what levels you should be working on and don't move on until you are confident you understand the coding.
If you are ready to do the final project of creating an app, here is the link to the App Lab https://studio.code.org/projects/applab/DUklXNSbycn8d7vnCqjg14bzt1Hxpuq7fZapLriibHc/edit.
Check out some APP examples. https://studio.code.org/projects/public
Before beginning to design an App, do some brainstorming in this design booklet that you can fill in online and save to your rapid identity folder .

1. scratch.mit.edu/projects/10745563/
2a. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10890560/
2. Complete a Scratch reflection
3. TEXT - BASED CODING
Pre - work: Take a look at turingmachinesimulator.com/
The movie that we are watching, The Imitation Game, is about Alan Turing, an English mathematician, computer scientist, and logician who is considered the father of theoretical computing and artificial intelligence.
1st level coding: Start with the Pizza coding at Codemoji. There are 17 lessons. Do at least 11 of these before continuing.
1st level: food.codemoji.com/
2nd level: Make an emoji at Codemoji
1. Join the class: https://www.openprocessing.org/class/59485
User code: DC91FE
Sign up using your yesnet password and your Rapid Identity password so that you are sure to remember it.
2. Instructions for making a fork (copy) of the emoji sample. www.canadalearningcode.ca/wp-content/uploads/Codemoji-Download.pdf
Challenges: change the background colour, make the eyes move, add ears!

Week of Feb 3 to 7
Monday Media - new Tech trends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhjnBE6lLAg - which new technology are you most interested in?
1. Keep working on your Scratch game. Update your design booklet as you work and consider each iteration (new version of a piece of software). You will have 3 classes to work on your game before we do a gallery walk of games on Thursday. It is not necessary to be completely finished on Thursday but have enough to show your classmates so that they can provide feedback and input. Remember the criteria that we came up with in the class.

Week of January 27 - 31
1. In groups of 2, try the first 3 debugging tests here https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/475483/
Share your strategies with the class.
2. Finish your first Scratch animation assignment and add them to our Class studio - VCS 2020 ICT - Project #1. Remember to look over the rubric before submitting your project to be marked.
3. Choose a starter game from one of these sites. When you successfully complete this game template, you can go on to design a game of your own! Learn the coding that you will need from completing one of these games...be inspired. Ms Clarke will give you design sheets to ideate, plan, assess and share your game!

Week of January 20 - 25
Daily / weekly goal setting: I would like you to set a goal for yourself every day. The nature of this course is quite a lot of "free" time on computers. I want you to do this work with intention. There will be time for experimentation, investigation, failure and play all while completing assignments. While I realize that it is completely "non-tech", we will be using a paper log to chart progress. I will hand these out in today's class.
Activity 1: Scratch Projects
"Scratch is a block-based visual programming language and online community targeted primarily at new coders.. Users of the site can create online projects using a block-like interface. The service is developed by the MIT Media Lab, has been translated into 70+ languages, and is used in most parts of the world".
Create an account in Scratch scratch.mit.edu/. Create an account using your first initial, student number and your yesnet email.
Project #1: Code a program to animate a sprite speaking out loud the first 5 lines from a song, poem, play, etc. The sprite needs to move somewhere...dancing for a song, walking across a stage, sitting in a chair, gesturing for a poem or any other action that you choose.
Before beginning, watch the first 2 tutorials titled Getting started and Create animations that talk.
On Thursday, we will visit Computers for Schools. We will travel by city bus.
