Module 4 – Coding Assignments (covered over first 6 weeks, in class and homework)

Students will receive an introduction to coding using the Apple iPad App Swift Playgrounds – we will be using the Learn to Code 1 and 2 Modules, students need to download those if they haven’t already. Students may also be using Scratch, MIT coding program. Students must return the parent permission form so they can register for Scratch accounts and become members of the Scratch coding community.

An additional iPad App, Hopscotch is available on student iPads – students will have the option to create a project in Hopscotch for extra credit.

First Round Student Assignments:

All students will complete the the following Learn to Code 1 module exercises. Many of these will be done as home work with evidence of completion posted on student ePortfolios by using screen shots of successful exercise completion CODE and/or video capture of specified exercises and posted to their ePortfolios.
