Daily Note

Today we are going to setup our computers, bookmark some links, register for a bunch of websites, and generally prepare ourselves for our learning. 

  1. Please join our google classroom
    1. https://classroom.google.com/c/NzAzNzE2MzI3MDI0?cjc=4ibrjf7
       
  2. Please bookmark the following sites: 
    1. https://computersciencewiki.org/index.php/Welcome
    2. https://courses.computersciencewiki.org/daily_notes.php?id=2

       
  3. Please follow these instructions to install Vscode on your computer
     
  4. We will learn about input-processing-output model
     
    1. We will practice identifying input, process and output phase of a bunch of websites:
      1. Think, pair share: state the input, processing, output of this website.
      2. Think, pair share: state the input, processing, output of this website
      3. Think, pair, share: state the input, processing, output of this website.
      4. Think, pair, share: state the input, processing, output of this website.
      5. Think, pair, share: state the input, processing, output of this website.
      6. Think, pair, share: state the input, processing, output of this website.
      7. Think, pair, share: state the input, processing, output of this website.
         
  5. We are going to learn "what is computing" (and take a open-book quiz)
     
  6. If we have time, we are going to look through two other topics:
    1. Introduction to visual studio code
      ​​​​​​​
  7. Please complete this survey about your learning style

 

 

 

Our Big idea

The big idea for today is Course orientation.

The essential questions for this topic are:

What do I need to know, understand and do to be prepared for this class?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about course orientation (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
