Computer Science Education Week
December 7 - 13, 2015
To celebrate Computer Science Education Week, Ms. Tulbure and her students participated in the global Hour of Code! This is the second year of participation for Ms. Tulbure's Class.
Thank you, Hadi Partovi for creating this project!
Computer Science week coincides with the birthdays of two computer science pioneers.
A pioneer is a person who is one of the first to enter a field of study or explore a new area of thought.
- Ada Lovelace, born in England on December 10, 1815, is considered the world's first computer programmer.
- Grace Hopper, whose birthday is December 9, 1906, was an American computer programmer and Navy rear admiral. She
contributed to the development of theCOBOL language and is credited with popularizing the term "computer bug" in the programming community.

Grace Hopper said: "To me programming is more than an important practical art. It is also a gigantic undertaking in the foundations of knowledge."
For students:
We will be accessing these Hour of Code Tutorials on our Acers or iPads.
A hearty thank you, Lisa Highfill for putting these Hour of Code tutorials into a useful hyperdoc!
Students, you are free to go to these tutorials at home with your parents. Share what you've learned with the class in the comment section! On Monday, started our Hour of Code Tutorials and began to write and create with code.
What are you going to create with code?
What are some coding sites or apps that you like?
Teach us some code in the comment section!
Hi guys, it's Mark. I like to create codes that are long and that are always touch the bottom, because I really like to not put the repeat blocks down. Repeat blocks are blokes that repeat commands when placed down during coding. My favorite coding site is www.code.org because that is the only site I've been coding on. There is a code I would like to tell you about, which is the Destroy block. And that Destroy block will destroy anything if you are in Minecraft coding. For example, when you have the block and place it, it will destroy the block you want it to. I really enjoy coding. How about you?
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favorite block?
Sincerely,
Mark
Hi guys, it's Mark again. I wanted to share that coding on Flappy Bird coding is fun because when you get to the last level you can make a shark under water trying to doge obstacles. That's all I wanted to share. What is your favorite coding app?

Mark
Hi Mark,
DeleteMy favorite coding app is the star wars one because I like programming BB8 to collect all the pieces of BB8 to make him a friend!! And now I am at a level to get C3PO to help R2D2 get to safety.
You should try to play the star wars coding app!
Sincerely, Your classmate Sarah
Hi mark
DeleteMy favorite coding app is Minecraft . I love coding so much. when ever I go on a computer I do coding. minecraft coding is super hard in my opinion. Do you like coding minecraft.
Hi Sarah it's Mark. I tried out the star wars app and I really liked. I got to level fifteen and on that level you get to create you own game that you can add on your iphone and ipad, I liked the app and now I think that the coding app is really fun.

Mark
Hi, this is Helena. I liked the Hour of Code. It was as fun as the fair. It seems like I could not stop playing. It was the best, and there is different things to play like: Frozen, Ice Age,Star Wars, and Minecraft. So, do you know about any other types of Hour of Code?
