Life Reflection Discussion / Essential "55" / Hour of Code Intro

A "Life Worth Living" Reflection Class Meeting Time:

Today I want you to think about your goals in life. Please review the following video in class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja-n5qUNRi8 and participate in a brief discussion afterwards. What is the main message of the video?  How can you apply that message to your life?  What decisions will you make because of that message as you grow and mature?  Should others watch this video (why/why not)?

Code.Org Accelerated Course S2 17-18

About the Code.org Accelerated Course (International): Excerpt taken directly from https://code.org/educate/curriculum/cs-fundamentals-international Our International Computer Science Fundamentals courses are translated into over 25 languages. The different courses support students aged 4-18. Each course has 10-20 lessons that may be implemented as one unit or over the course of a semester. Students study basic programming concepts and develop interactive games or stories they can share. The courses teach the foundational concepts of programming using drag and drop blocks rather than a programming language such as JavaScript or Python. Blocks are an easier way to get started and can be fully translated into any language. Course 1 uses picture blocks rather than words to support pre-readers. All lessons align to all relevant computer science standards, as well as to the  ISTE standards . They additionally reinforce concepts and skills taught in other subject areas by integrating nationa

It's interactive, fun, and you can do it with your friends.  Twelve Days of Christmas Code:    Nice, simple implementation of the Twelve Days of Christmas. As  jhixson  puts it, “Pretty straightforward … in JS with a few ES6 bits.” Run it today, there are still a couple of days left!
