CODE.ORG - HOUR OF CODE DAY 2

All Crossroads@Meade Students:

I am taking some personal time to spend with my family.  Please follow all directions from the substitute and work on following items in class today.  THIS IS NOT A FREE DAY TO MESS AROUND!  Make sure you are completing work as assigned.  Your technology packet, questions & responses, and your letter to the editor are due by Friday, December 12th at 3pm for credit.  No late entries will be accepted.  

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR WORK!


ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE

Students will learn basic computer programming using Code.Org online.  Students will understand the basic vocabulary used in programming.  Students will also be able to explain why it is important for everyone to learn to code and how it can provide equity in our society.


STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!  

STEP 1:  GOOGLE+ COMMENT WITH SUBSTANCE

You May Watch Individually Or As A Class At The Teacher's Discretion.

Students will start by watching the video "Code Stars" (Click Here) and then open your Google+.  You need to go to the Crossroads 2014-2015 Community Page and look for a posting that says "CODE STARS".  Post a 3-4 Sentence COMMENT about the video.  Your post should explain how you could use programming in your future career, and tell me about a specific project you are interested in working on for extra credit.  Are you interested in creating a game, doing graphic animation, working on an application (IPhone/Android/Windows), or something else.  Explain in your post what idea you have and why it interests you!  If the substitute teacher wants to lead a discussion about different projects or your coding interests, let them!


STEP 2:  Complete Your Code.Org "Hour Of Code" Program


Students will sign into their CODE.ORG account with their classroom GMAIL Address and the password they created on Wednesday.  Students will continue to work on the programming levels in order on their individual lesson page.  They can use headphones for watching the training videos only!  NO MUSIC OR OTHER VIDEOS ALLOWED!



STEP 3:  Go Beyond the "Hour Of Code" Program


Once they have completed the Hour of Code (20 Levels), students will click the link below to the Code.Org Intro Course while logged into CODE.ORG.  Students will begin to complete levels for this course.  They only need to view the videos during "UNPLUGGED" Lessons.  I will be able to track their progress while they work.  If there are any questions, a student should first try to ask for PEER HELP!  PEER MENTORING is a Key Component of this class.  If they need to email me at hscribnercaa@gmail.com, they are allowed too!  



There is a prize for anyone who completes the entire INTRO COURSE (ALL LEVELS)!

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND!

Integrity (13 Characteristics)

13 Characteristics of People Who Have Integrity

1. They Value Other People's Time: They value their own time so they also value the time of other people. They know you have plenty of other places you need to be and won’t hold you up. If you spend time with them, it is likely they will thank you for that as well.

2. They Give Credit Where It Is Due: They do not take credit for things they did not do. They will always credit those who deserve it. If you help this person with a project he or she will likely mention your name so you can take credit for your work.

3. They Are Authentic: They are their truest forms. You won’t catch them in a lie or being fake.

4. They Are Always Honest: They are honest people that feel no need to lie as it is important for them to get to where they need to get in life honestly.

5. They Never Take Advantage Of Others: They are not the kind of people who will take advantage of someone else. They love to build people up and help them get where they need to be. Taking too much from someone else will never be an issue with someone who has a lot of integrity.

6. The Do Not Argue Over Disagreements: They will talk through things in a civil manner or not talk at all. You cannot and will not force this person into arguing over something completely ridiculous. I find this to be a very respectable trait.

7. They Give Most People The Benefit Of The Doubt: They try to see the good in everyone. I think this is because they feel like maybe there are more people in this world that also have integrity. That being said, if you take advantage of them too much they will get rid of you.

8. They Know When Something Is Bothering Someone: They have a great intuition that lets them know when something is going on. If someone is down in the dumps they will notice. Chances are they will actually do what they can to cheer you up.

9. They Believe In Others: They accept your word as truth until it is dis-proven. That being said, they do not take lying well. And once you lie to them, it is unlikely that they will ever take your word again.

10. They Apologize First: If they have done something wrong they will come to you and apologize. This is just how they are. They own up to their mistake and try to make things right.

11. They Are Humble: They do not quite know their own worth. While they are very important and do so much good they don’t quite see it. You should remind them of it.

12. They Do Good When They Can: They are always helping other people. They love to know that they have improved someone’s life. It gives their lives meaning.

13. They Are Always Kind To Those Who Need It: Giving kindness can go a long way. When someone looks like they need a little pick me up these people deliver. They can brighten up almost anyone’s day.

If you are someone who has true integrity, thank you for being who you are and thank you for all that you do. You really do actually make a difference in society, please keep up the good work. If you feel no one else is proud of you, know that I am.
