← previous note | most current note | next note →Daily Note
Today we will:
- Review your survey results
- Try to register for our class LMS, if it works, I'll give you a tour.
- Today is Friday, and normally, we discuss careers in computing, but I'd like to keep our initial track going.
- Look more closely at our daily notes
- Learn a bit more our IDE and python
- We will talk a little about computational thinking.
Mr. Baumgarten is a great computer science teacher. I've used this material from his site:
1. Decomposition - Can I divide this into sub-problems?
2. Pattern recognition - Can I find repeating patterns?
3. Abstraction - Can I generalise this to make an overall rule?
4. Algorithm design - Can I design the programming steps for any of this?
Statement of Inquiry
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

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