Published on

(No video today, as the window for missing work has closed and the only new activity can ONLY be done in class.)

Today's Agenda:

    1. Announcements:
      1. No late work for 3rd Quarter is being accepted! (The deadline was yesterday, Thursday, March 21st!)
        1. This deadline is 1 day 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. Film Festival
      • The Countdown to the Film Festival Student Showcase has begun!
      • We will be hosting our 12th Annual Digital Film Festival VIRTUAL Student Showcase on Saturday, March 16, 2024, beginning at 9:00 a.m.

    3. Today's Lesson: MineTest Monster Attack!

      1. Today's lesson will be completed in MineTest, which I have installed on the Lab computers.
      2. To begin today's work, you will need to complete ALL missing Code.org work.
        1. If you previously completed your Code.org work, Mr. Smith has a username and password for you to use to connect to the in-room MineTest server.
        2. If you complete your Code.org work during class today, you will have to show Mr. Smith in order to receive your username and password.
      3. Mr. Smith will show the class how to log in, and the basic rules you are expected to follow.
        1. We are beginning our unit in Survival Mode, with damage turned on.
          1. Your town is being assaulted by monsters! Defend the town!
          2. If you ended the last session outside of town, you've been moved inside.
          3. If you had glowstone, obsidian, or bedrock in your inventory, it was removed.
          4. Most of you have been given armor and swords to help defend the town. (Some of you already had some armor and swords, those items have not been replaced.)
          5. Some villagers have run to your town seeking help! Make sure to protect them!
        2. This is easiest to do if you pick different responsibilities as you work together, but its YOUR jobs to work together.
        3. You MUST NOT mess with any other students. Doing so can get you banned from the server. This includes, but is not limited to:
          1. Intentionally attacking other players.
          2. Getting in the other student's way when they are placing blocks.
          3. Destroying blocks that are part of their build.
          4. Throwing things at other students.
          5. Spawning creatures that do any of the things above.
