CODEHS.COM INTRODUCTION & SIGNUP

All:

ACADEMIC/LEARNING OBJECTIVE
Students will extend their individual learning about reading and writing CODE by working on a basic program online.  The program will allow students to begin to use the lessons learned during ‘Hour of Code” in December to begin learning specifically how to code in Java Script.  Students will be able to access this program anywhere they have access to the internet.

STUDENTS WILL ENTER THE CLASS QUIETLY AND BEGIN WORKING!
Students will work individually, but be able to peer mentor if necessary, to sign-up for and teach themselves to read and write Java Script. Students will create an account on CODEHS.com and begin working on the entry level Computer Science course as a followup to working in Blockly programming on Code.Org last year.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE TODAY!

Please begin your class today by reading the following article: 


Once you have read it, complete a Weebly Journal entry on why you should learn to code, how learning to code may help you in classes here and in the future, and what kind of code you are interested in writing (games, art, etc.)  4-5 Sentences TOPIC:  "CODING AND ME"

"The goal of CodeHS is to spread the knowledge of computer science by offering well-crafted instructional materials supported continuously by the quality, personal attention of our enthusiastic tutors. We believe that everyone has the ability to learn computer science, and we want to help them do so."

Today you will use your time to individually sign up for CODEHS.COM.  This is the next step to learning to read and write computer code.  Use the following link:


Make sure you click on the section that says "I Want To Learn".  Click the BUTTON that say "I Have A CLASS CODE"!  ENTER your First Name, Last Name, Crossroads Gmail Address, and a Password you can remember.  The Class Code at the bottom will be: E545

Once you have completed the process of creating an account, you may start learning in the Computer Science Basic class.  You will be learning Java Script. It is a simple language.  You will work on your own, and you will need headphones to watch the instructional videos.  You may start working on this today, and continue at home if you like.  We will be working on this during the 3rd Marking Period together, but for now, create and account and get started.  Good Luck!

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.
