Home Page, Blog, and Issue

Teacher and Peer evaluation are critical to our success and improvements.

  1. The Home Page on your personal Blog should be a place to discuss your projects and progress.
  2. Be sure to share your progress through Big Idea 3 by updating you Blog.
  3. Class Presentations by Lesson and by Comprehension solidfy our study.
  4. Issues can be used to showcase meeting objective and recive feedback through Utterance Comments.

Student Teaching - Part 1 Fundamentals Blog

Students will engage in lesson preparation, teaching, and grading. This activity is often called “Team Teach”. The process and purpose are as follows:

  1. Learn Big Idea 3 from the College Board.
  2. Build a lesson using Python and JavaScript for each of the programming fundamentals provided by the teacher’s starters.
  3. The lesson should include a Tech Talk portion, popcorn hacks, and homework hacks. The lesson should NOT have more than 5 minutes of talking before engaging students in an activity (e.g., popcorn hacks).
  4. Be prepared to grade homework. This means having a plan for homework and a plan for grading the homework. You will grade on a “1-point” scale. Weight popcorn hacks and homework hacks in the grading.
  5. Lesson time will be between 20 and 30 minutes. Homework time should be about the same as lesson time.

Lesson Review - Topic Relevancy (Stdent Review)

Peer review checklist. Guideance

  • Scurm Master should coordinate.

  • Peer grading should be coordinated in Slack, if there are any issues.

  • Lesson providers will receive reviews from a peers in another class, doing the same topic, by enabling Utterances on your topic(s).

  • Peer graders will grade on Utterances. Be sure two people provide a review to every section of lesson (ie 2 reviews on intro, 2 reviews on .1, 2 reviews on .2, …).

  • Assingments are to review corresponding topics in other classes.

    • P1 reviews P2
    • P2 reviews P3
    • P3 reviews P4
    • P4 reviews P5
    • P5 reviews P1

Note 1. The purpose is NOT MORPH lessons to be the same, boring!!! Note 2. Student reviewers will be evaluated on how and if you perform a review Note 3. Student lesson providers will be evaluated if the improve lesson based off of feedback. Remebmer/document your changes

Enrichment Presentation to Class

Every individual will talk for 2 minutes in front of the class about why the Sprint 2, BI Unit 3 lessons, and self-study final were impactful. The focus should be on how you were enriched in both technical and soft skills.

Guideline

This is a guideline of focus; consider these 4 things when you talk individually:

  • Blog: In association with Big Ideas and Teaching, discuss something that shows how you will be prepared for CB and PBL activities in the future (e.g., an organized checklist of accomplishments).
  • Memory: Consider something that will help the teacher and fellow students recall your individual presentation and contribution (e.g., a highlight of your lesson).
  • Relevancy: Describe something impactful you learned from another lesson, note the source, and try to use the relevancy checklist language in your discussion (e.g., a learning experience).
  • Beyond Perfunctory: Inform listeners of something that shows them that this Sprint on Big Idea 3 is distinctly yours (e.g., personal growth or accomplishment).

Sprint 2 Big Idea 3 Final

Every student need to update their blog to be reflective of accomplishments and learning from Sprint 1 and Sprint 2. This will be focus of Live Review.

  1. Sprint 1: As we move to Project-based Learning task the Teacher needs to be convinced all tools are working. The most important things to certify: VSCode localhost build, GitHub Pages github.io link, Analytics, VSCode roll forward/roll back.

  2. Sprint 2: Using the Final Hack or similar, show teacher as single place that all the BI Unit 3 elements come together. The expectation is something visual and in JavaScript.

  3. Home Page: Using Nighthawk Pages blogging style update your home page to be reflective of your year long progress in the class.
