Daily Note

  1. We will review our big ideas from our last class. Today is Friday, so we have current events!
     
  2. We will break into two groups
     
    1. more comfortable with Python
    2. less comfortable with Python
       
  3. If you are less comfortable with Python
    1. We will review objective 5 and begin objective 6
       
  4. If you are more comfortable with Python:
    1. You need to continue to get good at pysimplegui:
      1. Please bookmark this link
      2. Please bookmark this link
      3. Watch this first, and follow all directions
      4. Watch this second and follow all directions
      5. Please create some windows using this cookbook and design patterns
         
      6. I will ask you to help develop a guide for other students how to use pysimplegui. 
        1. Please think about teaching a student less comfortable with programming abouy creating GUI's using Python,. 
  5. We will review our learning

 

 

Statement of Inquiry

The big idea for today is Computational thinking.

The essential questions for this topic are:

How do we think about problems in a way which makes them solvable for a computer?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about computational thinking (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.



Reminders & routines:

Please read and follow these reminders:
