Daily Note

Welcome back to school! 

 

Our big idea: 

  1. What is awesome about designing solutions through programming? 
    1. You will design and construct two real, actual, on-the-internet web applications
    2. You get to learn how to program 
    3. You will understand if programming is for you

Our plan for the day: 

  1. We will review the rules in our classroom
  2. We will review some of our classroom systems:
    1. google classroom
    2. daily notes
    3. digital assessment
       
  3. We will look at the daily bulletin
     
  4. We will start learning about the big ideas & questions in our course
    1. Review last year's project ideas: click this link
       
  5. We will be introduced to our class syllabus
     
  6. 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.
         
  7. We will connect with google classroom (if we have computers - if not we'll wait)
     
  8. We will review our learning

 

 

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 (today ==  testing_day_for_me) {
