May 4 - May 8
Monday - Watch today's video on Edmodo. This week will begin our online differentiated instruction. Based on feedback
from last week, you may choose your own path of study.
PATH 1 is Continue Developing Scratch Programming Skills, where you will be required to spend 20 minutes per day
creating your own Scratch project. If you choose this route, you must submit screen shots daily of your progress
WITH A WRITTEN NARRATIVE of goals and progress. No credit will be given for daily assignments without a
written description.
PATH 2 is learning to program in JavaScript using Codecademy.com. In this path, you will work on tutorials each day,
learning how to code using text, not blocks. JavaScript is the underlying programming language of Scratch and all
of the information we learned during our certification portion of the course directly relates to JavaScript. This Path is
the next step to becoming a real computer programmer! When school officially ends, you can continue your virtual
education with paid for classes on Codecademy or learn the basics of other programming languages for free.
