HTML Warriors by Tyler

Today we are working on our websites. We have learned how to change the font and background color, font size, add pictures, and more. We are making our websites with the coding language HTML. We are making our website about subjects that interest us.

Plugged In by Jared

Today in technology we are on computers. Sometimes we do unplugged activities to learn coding concepts. Today, however, we are on the website Khan Academy. Khan Academy is a website that has many courses. We are on the programming course learning how to program using JavaScript. We learn how to use variables, color with code and more. At the end of the semester, we will make a website that will have everything that we learned in Khan Academy on it.

Compression and Decompression y Joshua C.

Today we are talking about compressing and decompressing our text messages. We watched a compressing and decompressing video with a famous singer. When he sends messages of his songs and he decompresses his messages too. It's important to compress and decompress things because you want to save gigabytes.

Learning to Code by Ethan

In fifth grade technology, we are using Khan Academy to learn how to use JavaScript. It is teaching us how to make snowmen with simple beginner coding. We use simple codes like ellipse(80, 30, 45, 167); it is really fun because you get to learn to code which will be a useful tool in the future. It is amazing.

Coding Concepts by Harris

This week in class we learned some new vocabulary words. We used them to help us in our coding activity. This coding activity helped us understand functions. We also did robot games with different variables. We also did a game that involved coding cup stacking.  We learned words such as function, algorithm, and abstraction. These are some of the concepts we are plugging into our code.

Getting the Trimester Started with Tech Talks Written by Joshua L. and Edited by Rafa

This week in technology, we have started the trimester by making a scratch project listing a way to be a good digital citizen. We also got our hands on the first ever Savvy Cyber Kids Cards! These cards have questions on them about digital citizenship, how to be positive citizens, and how to make good choices when using technology. We want to follow the good actions, but we also must learn what not to do. When you read the question, it will say, student answer, educator answer, or both. In conclusion, this week we were just trying to get to know each other as classmates, friends, and digital citizens.

French Fries and Sushi to Snowmen in the Sun by Gavin

We are doing Khan Academy, which is a coding website. You learn how to code things in JavaScript, like a snow man. We learn how to color the the snow man. Another thing we can do is make food on a plate using JavaScript. Yesterday, we used cards to create games using conditional statements. We learned that conditional statements allow programs to run under certain conditions.
