Math Standards

International Society of Technology Education (ISTE):

Information Literacy Standards:

· Standard 6 – Mathematics instructional programs should focus on solving problems as part of understanding mathematics so that all students

· Build new mathematical knowledge through their work with problems

· Develop a disposition to formulate, represent, abstract, and generalize in situations within and outside mathematics

· Apply a wide variety of strategies to solve problems and adapt the strategies to new situations

· Monitor and reflect on their mathematical thinking in solving problems produce other creative works.

· Standard 6 – Students use technology resources for solving problems and making informed decisions.

· Students employ technology in the development of strategies for solving problems in the real world.

Technology Foundation Standards for Students:

· Standard 3 – Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity. Students use productivity tools to collaborate in constructing technology-enhanced models, prepare publications, and

Objectives:

· For students to demonstration and expand upon their existing knowledge

· For students to try different GUI techniques to see what they visually like.

· For students to expand their existing knowledge of java code to the awt and swing classes

· For students to extend their coding and debugging comfort level.

· For students to practice independent learning on the web

Learning Experience

· I will hand back students’ last week’s assignments and ask them to break down the statement “public static void main(String [] args) “ and explain in writing what each keyword means.

· To answer these questions students will have the option to work on their computer.

· This will be followed by students continuing their work on Buttons and text formatting. This should be completed by the end of Thursday.

· In addition I will be working separating with students mostly on GG.

Students will be assessed on

· the ability of each student to finish the assignment with little guidance from me. Each student, as a member of a team should be able to answer most questions amongst themselves barring any slippery coding problems.

· How well the final GUI has been thought through and designed.

· How solid, robust and well tested is the final product.
