LESSON 23:  Grammar Gorilla and Prep for the Final

Mass Curriculum Standards:

·        Standard 1: Demonstrate proficiency in the use of computers and applications as well as an understanding of concepts underlying hardware, software, and connectivity.

·        Standard 2: Demonstrate responsible use of technology and an understanding of ethics and safety issues in using electronic media.

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:

·       Students will work how to write a real life piece of software. Students will learn how to integrate small discrete chunks of codes and merge the chunks into a larger unit..

·      Students will gain hands-on experience working with Java AWT and Swing classes to achieve their goal to have one GUI window containing Buttons, text and radio buttons. Specifically have a Button (Swing class) that will clear (AWT class ) to repaint the screen.

·     Students will practice these skills through coding and expand upon their existing skills through this exercise.

·      Students who are not actively working on Grammar Gorillas will be writing code as a review for their final exam.

 

Learning Experience

·      The UI group (Frankie and Adrienne) should continue adding the radio button code.

·      (Kevin and Lindsey) should work on the Driver and the Middleware.

·     Next testers:

o     Kevin, Julie and Caitlin – input file with Grammar questions

o     Kevin, Adrienne and Frankie – for UI

o     Kevin, Jason and Ryan - integration

·      DataStore- work continues

·        Jason – Finish the music then work with Ryan to adding the Grammar Gorilla Splash screen.

·        All others finish the projects you are currently working on

·      Review for Final (available for questions on Grammar Gorilla but will be mostly working on final exam review)
