11 December 2018 - CSED Week Reflection
The reason students are taught to code, during Computer Science Education Week, is because there are so many ways that programming is part of our lives now.  Almost every tool we take for granted, as we look around, has some kind of computer component running code to help us complete tasks, make our lives easier, or moniter some critical piece of equipment we are using.  Almost every career field has software, hardware, and machines that make our work more productive, and allows us to reach new goals that we could not complete without the use of programming.  As an educator, there are new digital technologies that emerge faster than we can begin to use them.  We are training the students of today for careers that do not even exist yet! 


Now that you have tried Code.org's Dance Party, Kano's Street Artist, and some other tutorials, you should post some of your work on the new Digital Portfolio you created in class yesterday (Google Sites). Make sure you follow all the directions listed on yesterday's post (see below or click http://collegiumtech.blogspot.com/2018/12/digital-portfolios-using-google-sites.html) and add projects from all your other classes. This will be an great way to show off your work here at CCS-515! One of the most important things you should do is make sure your Career Education & Work (CEW Evidence) projects are populated to that page.

New Coding Projects For Week 2 of 
CSED Week in CSA Class!

BASIC CODING CHALLENGES:


Kano: "Anyone Can Make" - Mission Statement: The modern world is filled with billions of machines. 📱 But 1% of 1% of us can open them up, & change them. Now, a new generation is rising. They see this world as something to shape, not just use. Kano is a new kind of computer company. 💡 You make & code our technology yourself, with simple steps, stories, and play. You share your creations with others across the physical and digital world. We work with artists, misfits, technologists, and teachers in 86 countries. 🌍 Together, we'll demystify the modern world – and open up its creative power to all.


Tynker Hour of Code Page (Click Here):  With Tynker's revolutionary approach, kids learn to code using visual code blocks that represent real programming concepts. They progress to text languages like JavaScript and Python as they continue to play through 2,000+ interest-driven activities.

TynkerCad Autodesk (Click Here):  Tinkercad is a free online collection of software tools that help people all over the world think, create and make. We’re the ideal introduction to Autodesk, the leader in 3D design, engineering and entertainment software.

LearnPython.org:  Whether you are an experienced programmer or not, this website is intended for everyone who wishes to learn the Python programming language.


FREE CODE CAMP (ADVANCED CODING):

We have already used many of the Blockley-Style Programming tutorials found on Code.Org.  Now, without creating an account, try some of the tutorials on other programming languages found on freeCodeCamp.com.  Here is some basic information (taken directly from their About Us page) to get you started.  Good Luck!


What is freeCodeCamp?

We’re a community that helps you learn to code, then get experience by contributing to open source projects used by nonprofits.

How can you help me learn to code?

You'll learn to code by completing coding challenges and building projects. You'll also earn verified certificates along the way. We also encourage you to join a study group in your city so you can code in-person with other people.

Is freeCodeCamp really free?

Yes. Every aspect of freeCodeCamp is 100% free.

Can freeCodeCamp help me get a job as a software developer?

Yes. Every year, thousands of people who join the freeCodeCamp community get their first software developer job.

How can I get a job?

Most people get jobs through friends and hiring managers they know from coding events. There are also services that can help you get interviews.

How long will it take me to finish each of freeCodeCamp's certificates?

Each certificate takes around 400 hours of dedicated learning. Some people may take longer. These certificates are completely self-paced, so take as long as you need.

Is freeCodeCamp a replacement for a 4-year degree?

No. Please don’t drop out of college just to pursue freeCodeCamp. You can pursue both concurrently. Even though you don’t need a 4-year degree to work as a software developer, it still helps a lot.

Should I complete all of the coding challenges in order?

We’ve put a lot of thought into how we introduce concepts. But you’re free to jump around.

Where can I get technical support for using the freeCodeCamp.org platform?
