Computer Science at JWP (Part Two!)

This month, we have focused nearly all of our time on Computer Science. In the last post about Computer Science, I focused on what the younger students were working on, while mentioning what the older students were about to start.

I'd like to show you some of the products of our work in CS First and "Gumball's Coding Adventure!" Click the green flag to start running each program.

I think we have some budding computer science enthusiasts on our hands!

Morning Announcement Video Success!

Halfway through November, we ordered a green screen for the STEM Classroom.

Can't wait to use our new green screen for announcements! Thanks for the help with set up, @JeremyErler #isd2835 pic.twitter.com/4QKGbX1kEe

We've been having a great time every morning making video announcements for the elementary students!

The students plan the script, find the backgrounds, and use an iPad app called Touchcast to record. Touchcast allows them to use a teleprompter to read their script while they are recording.

Any 6th grader is welcome to sign up for helping with the announcements on our Google Doc that's shared with everyone in the class. We meet at 8:00 every weekday but Tuesdays.
