Select the Selection

Today we were looking over some of the previously done assignments from the selection assignments and it was good because even though programming can be easy sometimes it can also be a pain.
We had assignments 5, 6, and 7 to do for homework.
Bye!

Boolean Lessons

Today for class we had a new lesson on programming that has to do with Boolean operators.  We learned about the structure and the basic steps to understanding how to write Boolean expressions.  We learned about the true part, the false part, the purposes of the key words "If, then, end if, and else".  In today's class we also had a long work period to start working on our assignments and to try and get as many of them done. 
For homework we have the blog and to try and work on more assignments.

Awesome Views and Previews

Today was a cool day because in class we got to learn about something that I had trouble understanding, Desk-Checking.  Desk checking is an important skill to have because it will help you understand how computers work and it will give you a better understanding of programming.  We used three pages to evaluate some examples to get us started on desk-checking. 
We also reviewed the Arithmetic operators and learned about Relational operators.  Arithmetic operators give a numerical result and relational operators give Boolean results.
We have lots of homework today but it is nothing that cannot be done.

Another Review Day

Today we learned about a few more procedures and they are really cool,  like "Colour and  Colourback."  We also reviewed some of the effects that the clearing procedure has on a run window.  We learned about new funtions called "Ord" for ordinal, and "Chr" which stands for character.
Also today the teacher gave a handful of students a chance to review earlier topics. 
Today was an overall good day.

Review of Reviews

Today ( Thursday Oct. 21) we had a review of some of the most recent assignments like assignments 4 and 5.  We also had a Q and A for this class and anything that we did not understand.
We did not do much but we had to continue our assignments for homework.

Oh No!

Today was a great day to get back our marks for the "Autobiography" assignment.  I got a mark that I am pleased with, but as everyone says there is always room for improvement.  Today for the entire class we were looking over the marking scheme and the meanings of the teacher's comments.  It was great to see where I went wrong because it will help me get a better mark the next time we have an assignment.
For homework all we have to do is to do as many of the assignments as we can for the next class.
Bye!

Homework Catastrophe

Today in class we had a homework check-up and it was a catastrophe.  Half of the class was not even done assignment 1-5 and because we had a check-up I found out I did some things wrong which is not good for me. 
So for homework I have to redo some of my assignments and do my daily blog.
Bye!

Programming Galore

Today since we fell behind the other classes we had to do some extra work and definitions to catch up to them. 
We have a lot of homework and they all include assignments that were for us because we were behind. 
We learned how to make variable lists and everything related to that sort.
Bye for now.

Review

We had a review of some of the things the class did from the beginning of this programming unit.  And we also learned about some new key words and about variables.  Also we had to do the definitions for some new words for our programming glossary.
Homework includes summaries on new concepts and the definitions for new words not done in class.
Bye!

Asterisk Mania!

Today in class we had to copy down a lot more definitions for our soon to be finished programming glossary.  We also had a class assignment where we have to make a box using Turing and only asterisks. 
For homework we have to review some terms for next class.

Bye!

computer graphics

Today in class we had to take a lot of notes on the very interesting subject of programming, well the basics anyways.  We had to learn new definitions and it was very cool because I have never heard of some of these words.  We also had work on using locations in the fragments and repetitive symbols.
It was very cool!
Bye!

Turing

Today we began our first lesson on programming using the program called "Turing."  It is a very interesting program because we are going to be using it to do most of our programming work using it.  It has some special functions that make this program very easy to use and it is fun to use it. 
Today for work we have to do our blog and do the assignments given to us on the basics of programming.
Bye, for now!

Party!!!!

Today we had no work but we did party.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was awesome and I hope we can do this again!!!!!!!!!!

Intro to programming

Today we had an introduction to programming using the program called Turing.  It was really cool to see how the characters in the codes are invisible.
There was no work.

Binary for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today we learned more about the amazing system of binary codes.  It was cool to see how all the characters have different binary codes for everything you can type and do.  We had to decode Mr. Arkin's blog which was written all in binary codes.  WE had a good day today overall.
My homework is to finish my glossary and then I will be done my work.!!!!!!!
Bye!!!

Yes!!!!

Today we learned about "Bits" and it was awesome.  There were so many codes and they all had to do with math, my favourite subject.  We also finished the last part of our basic computer glossary.  Also, I got my glossary updated and I am almost there I just need the pictures and I am done.
My homework is to find pictures and update my page.
Bye!!!!

Notes again?

Today was another day for taking notes and nothing really happened.  We were only taking notes and listening to Mr. Arkin tell us definitions about the basic glossary. 
My only homework is to try and update the glossary and look up some definitions.
Bye!

Notes galore

Hey everybody it is me and I am just updating you on how we spent class today.  Today we took notes for almost the entire period and we only got 15 minutes to start working on our new glossary.  The main focus of this class was to get as many definitions from the glossary as we could so we can begin our unit on programming.
For homework I am just working on the glossaries and on this blog.
Bye!
