CodeMoji.com (Introduction to HTML/CSS and More! S2 17-18

BEFORE YOU START TODAY:
Check out the Youtube Channel for an 11-year-old kid who has 8 Apps in the Apple Store already.  He learned to code at age 8, and is cranking out his own Apps now!  He also has scholarships and numerous awards for his work already!  You could do the same thing!

 Today you will be improving on your learning about the programming languages we saw with Code.Org.  You will learn a little about how HTML and CSS are used to create websites.  Please go to the following website after signing in to your Google Account:

Click on "SIGN UP" and click the drop-down list to identify yourself as a student.  Next, enter your CCS Gmail account and choose a password you can remember!  Enter your password in both the Password block, and the Confirm Password block.  Click "Register Now".  You could also click "Register with Google Login" and follow the directions.

 Once you are logged in, you will see a user-friendly dashboard.  Click on "Settings", enter the class code below, and click "Join Class"
CCS CSA CLASS CODE:  2276

 Once you have joined the class, begin working on the HTML Lessons, and click on the HTML Beginner Lesson #1.  READ ALL DIRECTIONS, and start learning HTML.  As you complete each lesson, you will see how basic websites are coded using cute emoji's.  As you progress through each lesson, you will learn more about creating these sites.

 You will be working independently on these lessons, and I encourage you to work on as many different languages as you like.  I will be around to see your progress.  Let me know if there are any problems.  I will create a post later this week with a project for you to work on as an assessment of your progress and learning.

 Codemoji's computer science curriculum for schools allows 1st-8th grade students to learn the basics of web development and coding, including HTML, CSS, and Javascript, in a fun and easy way, allowing them to create their own websites, animations and much more with our unique and adaptable learning platform.

 IS THIS TOO SLOW FOR YOU?  ARE YOU ALREADY AN AWESOME PROGRAMMER?  CHECK OUT THE RESOURCES BELOW TO GO NUCLEAR-SPEED WITH MORE PROGRAMMING OPTIONS AND COURSES:
We have already used many of the Blockley-Style Programming tutorials found on Code.Org.  Now, without creating an account, try some of the tutorials on other programming languages found on freeCodeCamp.com.  Here is some basic information (taken directly from their About Us page) to get you started.  Good Luck!

What is freeCodeCamp?

We’re a community that helps you learn to code, then get experience by contributing to open source projects used by nonprofits.

How can you help me learn to code?

You'll learn to code by completing coding challenges and building projects. You'll also earn verified certificates along the way. We also encourage you to join a study group in your city so you can code in-person with other people.

Is freeCodeCamp really free?

Yes. Every aspect of freeCodeCamp is 100% free.

Can freeCodeCamp help me get a job as a software developer?

Yes. Every year, thousands of people who join the freeCodeCamp community get their first software developer job.

How can I get a job?

Most people get jobs through friends and hiring managers they know from coding events. There are also services that can help you get interviews.

How long will it take me to finish each of freeCodeCamp's certificates?

Each certificate takes around 400 hours of dedicated learning. Some people may take longer. These certificates are completely self-paced, so take as long as you need.

Is freeCodeCamp a replacement for a 4-year degree?

No. Please don’t drop out of college just to pursue freeCodeCamp. You can pursue both concurrently. Even though you don’t need a 4-year degree to work as a software developer, it still helps a lot.

Should I complete all of the coding challenges in order?

We’ve put a lot of thought into how we introduce concepts. But you’re free to jump around.

Where can I get technical support for using the freeCodeCamp.org platform?

Here are answers to common technical support questions.

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 HTML, CSS, and  JavaScript.  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 codemoji.com and begin working on the entry level Computer Science course as a followup to working in Blockly programming on Code.Org earlier in the semester.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE TODAY!

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.
