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/NzAzNzE2NDI4MzM0?cjc=myhntsk
       
  2. Please bookmark the following sites: 
    1. https://computersciencewiki.org/index.php/Welcome
    2. https://faq.computersciencewiki.org/
    3. https://courses.computersciencewiki.org/daily_notes.php?id=7

       
  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.



Reminders & routines:

IF (this_block == first_block_day) {

}

As I am taking attendance:

  1. For students who are physically at ASW: Please check now: am I connected to the American School of Warsaw wireless network
  2. Please check now: is visual studio code working from my programming folder?
