Having Fun With Coding! by Julia F.


In Technology, we are coding JavaScript on Khan Academy. I am working on animations and making an exploding sun! Some people are working on "Whats for Dinner?" That is a project where you make your own dinner. Some people are working on "Funky Frogs," or "Bucktooth Bunny." Coding is a lot of fun!

The Joy of JavaScript by Wendell


In Technology exploratory, we are learning how to code. Specifically, we are learning JavaScript with Khan Academy. I am learning about coloring with code, and I have made the background of coloring a snowman. We started with learning about how to code the shapes like rect(), line(), and other codes like that. I like the choice of starting with the simple snowman because it doesn't get much more simple than that. Some vocabulary words we learned are, HTML which stands for Hyper Text Mark Up Language, Algorithms, and Abstractions. So far I have really enjoyed learning about coding.

Master Coders We Will Soon Be by Rachel


We have just started coding with Java Script and Khan Academy. We have all started to make snowmen and watch the videos on the site. We are all having a good time coding, and have learned the first steps to becoming a master coder.

Unplugged Coding by Drew


Unplugged coding is basically coding but on a sheet of graph paper. It is also a little easier than regular coding because in regular coding it is more complicated and includes colors. I think mostly everybody is getting it but some of us are struggling a little bit. We are doing this in partners so we teach each other as we go. I hope there will be more fun things to come. We have also learned about HTML, which is hyper text markup language. HTML is the base of a website that can be used with JavaScript. To conclude, I hope technology won't become more difficult but we will try to make the best of it.
