  1. Back to School 2014 Exploring Computer Science

  2. About Me • 8thyear at CCA • 17th year in Education • From Colorado • Math degree from CSU, Masters from GWU • Married with 2 kids (Hazel & Alexander) • CCA Womans Varsity & JV Coach

  3. Course #1 Goal • Inspire students to learn more about Computer Science and the technology they use every day. • I have found that the students are excellent at using and working with technology, but they do not always know how it works. • I feel that learning how to read and write code will be an extremely valuable skill no matter what field the students ultimately work in.

  4. What we will do… • Develop a portfolio in the form of a small scale web site • Learn Basic Programming concepts with Scratch • Apply what is learned with Scratch to write programs in Python to analyze data • Learn Computer Science Problem Solving strategies and algorithms with a Java based program called Jeroo. • Write basic web based applications with HTML5

  5. How to do well in the class • Complete and turn in all assignments on time • Ask for help when needed and before the due date • Participate during class instruction • Review posted materials and resources start.sduhsd.net

  6. Late Assignment Policy Any assignment not turned in during the class period on the due date will be considered late. • Students must complete and turn in a Late Assignment Grade Request Form in order for that assignment to be graded. • A grade of 0 (zero) will be given for assignments not turned in or attempted. • Partial credit may be given for Late Assignments turned in within a week of the due date. • Full credit may be given for Late Assignments due to an Excused Absence within a week of the due date.

  7. Help…………. I am available before school and during lunch • Students should contact me if they need assistance on assignments or if they would like additional time on class • Communication is key – I encourage the students to contact me if they are struggling with any of the concepts cc.sduhsd.net/subsites/Michael-Remington

  8. What is Next… • This course is meant as an introduction to programming and Computer Science • Students who have a strong understanding of the programming concepts are encouraged to take the AP Computer Science course next • For those who would like to have a little more experience programming I suggest taking The Computer Science Principles class then the APCS course.

  9. Welcome  As always at CCA I am really enjoying the opportunity to work with the students. We are off to a great start and I look forward to every day. Please contact me via email if you have any quesitons. michael.remington@sduhsd.net
