10 hours of CODE




LEARN to CODE
10 hours of CODING 
 Choose an online programming site 
 Recommendations
1.
https://www.khanacademy.org
Intro to JS: Drawing & Animation!
I quite like this one. Work until you get past "Text and Strings".
2.
https://www.codecademy.com
Introduction to HTML
Some of this code can be used on your blog!
3.
http://drawingincode.com/
The Basic Cityscape
Flappy Square
looks a lot like Actionscript used by Adobe Animate- I like it.


How will you be marked?
Each hour - for 10 hours- you will make a BLOG post of what you did that hour. This will include screen shots. You will also write about what you learnt that hour. Give examples. e.g. How to do something, a new piece of code, how difficult something was. Then you will indicate what you will be doing the next hour. Add a link to the exercise. CODE for about 45 minutes then finish up by posting for the last 15 minutes. It is best to code and blog at the same time. This way you can capture images, gifs and thoughts as you work.

Use these titles:
What I DID this hour 
What specific things I LEARNT 
What I will do next hour
...each hour is a separate post...

example - html
example post- html

Tuesday - still waiting

Tuesday - still waiting

As it stands 
6 people have joined Microsoft Team for Block B and 
4 for Block D


Please check your email and take a moment to join.  Should you not join then at least look here for instructions and I will look to your blog for results...just like before.

On Monday, we will most likely start coding.  I would like to use TEAMS for any sort of communication you may require regarding the assignments.  
ZOOM is not FOIPPA compliant so you are not allowed to use it.

NOT YET

NOT YET


As it stands we are not authorized to hand out work.

So, for now, try logging onto your Office365 account using your langleyschools.ca email address.

from there choose TEAMS

I will send out an email with the code required to get into the correct 'TEAM'.

Once everyone is there I am thinking of doing something graphical.

I realized no one has Photoshop so it may be with an online drawing tool...there are many.

Pandemic Course - this course ... online



if you have read this message

In the subject line write your - name - block - course

Answer two questions:

1. Are you well enough to do this course?
2. Do you have the technology to do this course online?

Blue-Line-at-500 - Del Mar Veterinary Hospital | Del Mar ...

At this point, you should be wrapping up the Minecraft assignment.

1.  a slideshow showing the outside construction of your project
2.  a slideshow showing the inside construction of your project
3.  a 20 second video showing the whole project.

I am going to throw out the animated gif of the whole group contribution.

The instructions for the slideshow and video are at the bottom of the previous post.

If you do NOT have Windows Movie Maker here is a link to the file.

--> Choose the programs you want to install

 You only need "Photo Gallery and Movie Maker"

I will give you until the end of the week - this is a lot of time - 
I also see some students are already done.
If so go to your Microsoft 365 and find TEAMS - we will attempt to communicate using it.

Next Monday we will begin the CODE section of the course.
