  1. Adventures in Computational Thinking by Carlo Provinciali Making Information Available to the World with HTML and Web Pages Computational Thinking Desktop Publishing with MS Word We created a world document inserting additional elements such as pictures or footnotes. We saved the work as .pdf so it could be read from any pc. • Computational thinking is thinking at different levels of abstraction: • For solving problems • For designing systems • For understanding the power and limits of human and machine intelligence We learned how to create HTML pages that could be published online using Notepad++. Web content was initially coded and made available online later on. Visual Programming with Alice Data Analysis and Visualization with MS Excel Presentation of Information with MS PowerPoint Alice looked familiar to me since I used Scratch in the past. In fact, I consider it to be an evolved version of Scratch. It allows you to program 3 dimensional world with a variety of interacting characters. For this Lab we had to design our budget summary. We used some Excel features such as “autosum” to calculate our income. Excel revealed to be an useful tool for keeping tack of one’s own finances. We used power point to create a presentation using graphs from the Excel spreadsheet. We learned how to use Excel feature to customize our presentation Dynamic Webpage Programming with JavaScript Javascript allows to bring the interactive component in the HTML language. The user can interact with the webpage and input data to get results. Its language is slightly different from HTML: for example, you must declare variables etc. It proved to be challenging but also quite interesting.
