1. Adventures in Computational Thinking By Kieu Nguyen Visual Programing with Alice Overview Alice is an innovative 3D programming environment that makes it easy to create an animation for telling a story. By manipulating the objects in Alice’s visual world, we gain experience with all the programming constructs , Java language (language used within Alice). Information Technology is the use of computer and software to manage information. The CSE class helps students familiar with storing, protecting, processing, and transmitting information. Computational Thinking • Computational thinking is thinking at multiple levels of abstraction: • For solving problems • For designing systems • For understanding the power and limits of human and machine intelligence Presentation of Information with Word & PowerPoint Data Analysis and Visualization with Excel Using Word and PowerPoint to present the information related to the field/ major that we are studying. • One of the most common uses of spreadsheet is to chart financial information. • We created an annual budget for ourselves, so we can monitor our spending while here at UCSD and calculate how much money we spent each month. • We were welcomed to use any personal information or fake information to input in the chart.
