THIS VIDEO EXPLAINS TODAY'S EXPECTATIONS!

Today's Agenda:

  1. Announcements:
    1. No late work for 3rd Quarter will be accepted after Thursday, March 21st!
      1. This deadline is 2 weeks before the end of 3rd Quarter and just before Spring Break. That time is needed to ensure all late work handed in before then is graded in a timely fashion.
    2. Lesson 2 was due 1/23. Lesson 3 was due 1/26. Lesson 4 was due 1/31. Lesson 5 was due 2/05. Lesson 7 was due on 2/08. Lesson 8 was due 2/16. Lesson 9 was due on 2/22.
  2. Today's Lesson: Code.org Lesson 10: Counting with Variables

    1. Today's lesson will be completed in Code.org, which you should log into through Clever.
      1. There is a known bug where sometimes it will log you in through Google instead.
      2. You'll know this has happened because you won't see our class (53-Elem Media Arts 2023-2024) listed near the bottom of your Code.org Dashboard.
      3. If this happens, I cannot track your progress and you'll get a zero for the lesson.
      4. To fix this, log out of Code.org and log back in through Clever.
      1. This lesson has eleven (11) Levels. (I will frequently call them "Bubbles" as that's what I've been calling them with my younger students.)
        1. The first two are "Prediction" Levels, where you are shown code and asked to guess what it does before running the code.
        2. Levels 3-5 are skill building exercises where you will learn how to modify number variables.
        3. Level 6 is a demo that shows the code in action.
        4. Levels 7-11 are a linked Mini-Project (meaning you should NOT delete code or you have to start over at Level 7) where you demonstrate what you've learned.
    3. This is an IN-CLASS assignment, NOT HOMEWORK. Please stay on task to complete this work by the end of class!
      1. (There is nothing to complete in Canvas, I will be checking your work via Code.org.)
