Using Music to Teach Programming
So, what does Paul Simon have to do with array processing?
Glad you asked.
As anyone that has tried to teach arrays can tell you they can be a bit dry. Sadly, the best way to really understand anything in programming is to practice. One of the best workarounds I have found is storing music in arrays. My AP kids never really got into the classic drunkards walk program, but make it a random set of notes on a kazoo and tuba and they were all over it. Music lets them play, which means more practice.
This is fairly simple to do. Each note is a number, or an object, depending on the language. I have done this in Scratch, Visual Basic and Java with the kids. Scratch music is built right in, in VB we use the Beep command, and in Java I use the JMusic tools.
And what, you might be asking, does this have anything to do with You can Call Me Al?
If you listen ahead to about 3:30, there is a bass solo. A Palindromic bass solo. The first part was recorded by Bakithi Kumalo, then played backwards for the second half
The lesson:
Another extension here is to watch the video of U-Bassists Abraham Laboriel and Bakithi Kumalo jamming in 2012. What happens if a musician makes a mistake on stage?
I am planning on using this as a journal prompt this year. One of the hardest things for new programmers happens around mistakes. Sadly this is a by product of much of the rest of their education. They are trained to find the right answer. In computer science we care most about the correct solution, and that is usually going to take several tries. Sometimes the mistake points the way to a better solution. My goal is to get them to embrace their mistakes.

You Can Call Me Al Video
As anyone that has tried to teach arrays can tell you they can be a bit dry. Sadly, the best way to really understand anything in programming is to practice.

If you listen ahead to about 3:30, there is a bass solo. A Palindromic bass solo. The first part was recorded by Bakithi Kumalo, then played backwards for the second half
The lesson:
- Play the video - ask them if they notice anything about the bass solo - you might need to play it a few times, and it helps if you have some band kids in the room.
- Make sure everyone understands palindromes
- Code a tune - store your notes in an array.
- Create a new array that will store the original tune, then store it backwards.
- So if your original tune was: A B B D E the new array would store A B B D E E D B B A
- Demo the songs to the class.
Bassists Abraham Laboriel from Mexico and Bakithi Kumalo from South Africa
Another extension here is to watch the video of U-Bassists Abraham Laboriel and Bakithi Kumalo jamming in 2012. What happens if a musician makes a mistake on stage?

Computer Science Unplugged
While looking for some computer science related videos for the last week of school I found this: cs unplugged video.
65 minutes of awesome. Not only does it have some great explination of computer science, it shows some great modeling of how to use the cs unplugged techniques. If you have never tried cs unplugged you really need to give this a look.
There is a list of shorted clips here.
My favorite quote: "Computer Science, its just science, computers are just the tool".

NASA Summer of Innovation Mini Grant Program
From the website:
The NASA Summer of Innovation (SoI) program is designed to support student interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) by strengthening the capacity of organizations or schools that inspire and engage female, minority or high poverty middle school students in STEM content. The SoI focuses on organizations that provide student experiences during the summer and through extended learning efforts designed to keep students involved in NASA-themed STEM activities during the academic year.
Applications are due on june 29th
GPS video review all keys learned learn P and V
We are going to start today with this video on GPS. Again, if you have GPS as a vocab word you may want to take what they talk about here and include it with what you post on the Wikispaces page.
Today we will review all of the keys we have learned so far.
We will also learn the P (R4) and the V (L1).

Keypad numbers
We will start today with a review of the numbers that we learned yesterday. After reviewing we will add in the other numbers of the keypad by using two additional handouts.
If there is time we will continue with the speed tournament. Some people have already been eliminated, and other people are at a point where they have to wait for someone else to get done before they can compete. Therefore, just like last time not everyone will be competing today.

Learn Q and comma start Formatting activity 1
We will begin today with learning the Q (L4) and the comma (R2).
Read More..
Once we complete learning these two new keys we will begin the process of learning about the first formatting activity and the formatting toolbar in Word. Because we will be working on a Formatting Activity tomorrow in class (after the vocab quiz) you will want to bring your flash drive so that you can save your work to it.
We also will spend a little bit of time today talking about how to upload a file to your Google Drive, because this will also be a procedure you will be employing frequently throughout the semester (as we work on the formatting activities).
Lastly, dont forget that tomorrow you have a vocab quiz over the week 2 vocab words (Hardware #2).

Vocabulary technique and new keys
With the long layoff, we have several things we need to cover.
Today we will review the keys we have learned and add in the U (R1) and the C (L2).
Read More..
- Vocabulary - we will still have our regularly scheduled vocab quiz this Friday. In order to keep things on track we have to stay with our original schedule for quizzes. However, I will add an additional day for those who still have not posted their definitions. This means that for those of you who have not completed this it MUST! get done by tonight.
- Technique - we will have a technique grade again this week, even though it is a short week. One thing regarding technique grades - if you miss the majority of a week when we have technique I will take the next technique grade we have and double it.
- Our main priority continues to be to learn the keyboard. We will add in some other things as we go, but until we learn all of the keys learning and practicing will be the major emphasis of things in class.
Today we will review the keys we have learned and add in the U (R1) and the C (L2).

SIGCSE
I just got back from SIGCSE 2012 As always they put on an amazing event hosting over 1200 computer science educators.
It is a bit odd being a high school teacher at these events. Our world differs so much from the college arena. A great example is the obsession with posters. In high school this means busy work festooned with bubble letters and glitter. I can only assume the college level posters have a higher purpose.
I attended because of the CS Principles Pilot. Plugging along on the project this year feels isolating at times. I worry that I am not doing this correctly. This fades when I get a chance to talk to the other piloters, so it was great to have a mini-reunion. SIGCSE has renewed my energy in building my pilot course, along with a huge to do list.
Goal: End the isolation and get surrounded by lots of great CS teachers, local and elbow to elbow.
Luckily attending SIGCSE also means sitting in on other great presentations. My personal favorite was the paper presented by Michelle Craig about knitting patterns and program tracing. My own knitting bias aside, it was a very interesting take on how new programmers acquire language. For instance the repeat-until structure is mroe intuitively obvious to a novice that the typical while structure we introduce.
Id also add that we create knitting patterns to create artifacts. This can get lost for new programmers. No one wants my dusty pile of knitting magazines, but most of my family and friends appreciate the socks they describe. Or at least they pretend to, and some days thats all that counts.

FA7
**REMINDER** Crossword puzzle is due Friday - make sure you are working on it outside of class so that you can hand it in on Friday.
Today we will be working on FA7. In this formatting activity you will be creating two lists of information. When using Word there are two ways you can format lists - either as a bulleted list (using bullets) or as a numbered list (using numbers).
Each type of list has its own characteristics and reasons for being used. Normally a numbered list is used when you want to write a list of items in rank order. In other words, the item listed next to #1 is the most important or number 1 ranked item, the item listed next to #2 is the second ranked item, and so on.
With a bulleted list you are listing items that do not need to be ranked. For example, you might create a grocery list, and the items you put on the list would only need to be listed - it wouldnt really matter in which order they are listed.

Weaving Binary and Peeing in Buckets
Weaving! Today was craft day in CS Principles. We are starting binary numbers - and if you think weaving in a computer science class is odd, Ill have you know that one my favorite computer science book ever was A Computer Science Tapestry by Owen Astrachan. It totally relates.
I borrowed a frame from our art department and set up the warp using this description:
Update: Here is a post about the weaving program at the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan. I got to see the Jacquard loom in action last summer when I was there for Maker Faire.
Read More..
I borrowed a frame from our art department and set up the warp using this description:
I used cotton for the warp and wool for the weaving. Using a needle and thread I got us started, then we passed it around and everyone took a turn:?
So, why weaving in computer science? Binary is the mast basic way of communicating weaving and knitting patterns. Think knit - purl - knit -purl. In weaving it is over - under - over - under. Alternating rows of over - under gives a small checkerboard pattern. By changing this we get different patterns in cloth.
 |
| Houndstooth Pattern |
This brought on a whole load of questions, and we did get off topic a bit. One kid brought up that the Romans used urine to dye fabric...and in fact To dye animal fibers you need an acid to fix the color to the fibers, which is why Kool Aid can be used to dye hair, or wool. Uric acid was the first commercially available chemical. Long time ago folks used urine to do indigo dyeing, which meant collecting a lot of the stuff. In a bucket, in the barn.
We did finally get back on track and watched a video on Jacquard Looms. I know we always use the examples of punch cards coming from looms, but really who cares? Today was the first time in all the years I have taught this that it mattered at all to the kids. Doing the weaving first made them really ask a lot of good questions about the loom. And the idea of storing a pattern and algorithm in a binary system is the basics of everything we do.
?
The final Product, its a bit lumpy, but it is made with love.
They really got into this and had lots of questions. Had I known I would have set everyone up with a loom so they could make their own. Might be an interesting extension to give them a pattern in binary and see what the design ends up being.
After the weaving we started on binary numbers. Last class we spent about 20 minutes doing an activity covering how base ten numbers work. Today for the fast start their question was "if you only had 1s and 0s to represent numbers how would you represent 0, 1, 2 and 3?" Lots of good debate over how to show certain numbers.
Last we made our Analog Binary Calculators that well use the next few classes as we go more in depth on how binary works.

Review all keys learned home row H E learn I and R
Today we are going to review all of the keys weve learned so far. Well do that by working in Word and typing from page 5 in the book.
After spending some time reviewing we will add two more keys to our "repertoire" - the I (R2) and the R (L1).
Generally speaking, if you miss a day when we learn new keys the next day we will spend some time reviewing the new keys we learned. So for those who are gone you can use the following day, during what would be a review time for everyone else, to learn the new keys. This should be beneficial in that if you miss a day you wont need to come in before school to make up what you missed - you can just use the "review time" to make up learning the new keys.

Vocab quiz 7 Formatting activity 5
We have vocab quiz #7 that we will be taking after using the first few minutes of class to review.
Read More..
Once you are done with the quiz you need to start working on Formatting Activity #5. This actually comes in the form of a handout - it will not be embedded on the blog. FA5 will be due by the end of the hour on Monday, so you will have time today and Monday to work on this assignment.
Vocab quiz 3
You will have a short amount of time at the beginning of class to review for the vocab quiz - youll need to go to the Wikispaces page to review. If you dont know your password I dont have it - youll have to create a new password on the website.
After completing the quiz you will need to turn to page 18 in your book and learn three new keys. The apostrophe is keyed with your right little finger (R4) and is the key between the semicolon and the return key; the hyphen is keyed with your right little finger (R4) and is the key to the right of the zero; and the quotation marks are keyed with your left shift key and right little finger (Left Shift + R4) and is located on the apostrophe key between the semicolon and the return key. On page 18, Lesson 8D, type lines 1-9 twice each.
Once you get done with these lines raise your hand and I will come look at what you have done. Once I have seen that you have completed these lines you can go to any of the practice websites and play the keying games.

| Finally |
Posts may be a bit sporadic this summer. I wont step foot in Virginia until mid July, and then only for three days:
- June 17 - 21 GA Tech --> APCS Principles Big Ideas
- A week in Atlanta talking computer science and making things with play-doh,I know you are jealous
- June 24 - July 12 Working on this: http://mooc.amplify.com/
- Its a MOOC for AP Computer Science - more on this later - pretty amazing
- July 13 - 16 CSTA National Conference
- Are you going? You should be, just sayin
- July 16 - 20 APCS Principles Pilot Meeting/AP Annual Conference
- Cant wait to meet all the new APCS Principles Piloters - over 40 of us now!
- July - August - Back to this: http://mooc.amplify.com/
- And throughout I am helping with: VASS APCS Online Summer Training - spots are still available if you are interested. The amazing Stacey Armstrong is the lead on the training so your dont want to miss out.
Hope to see you at one of these - if you are there make sure to say hello.
I follow computer science stuff on Twitter - so drop me a line and let me know how your summer is going. We have so many things happening as a community right now, it is really exciting to see all the hard work so many people have put in through the years building a k-12 computer science presence really start to take off. Heres hoping big changes are coming - because every kid in the United States should have the opportunity to take a computer science class.

Learn new symbols
THIS WEEK:
*Formatting Activity 3 & 4
*Learn new keys: symbols
*Technique grade
At this point Im sure were all tired of learning the keyboard, but rest assured that youre making great progress! We really are nearing the end of learning the keys...my goal is to get these done as soon as we can so we can move on to bigger and better things in class.
So, with that in mind, we are going to try to get through the rest of the symbols this week (which should be easy to do). We dont have a vocab quiz this week which will also help.
Warmup: P. 40, 17B, lines 1-9 once
P. 41:
17C lines 1-3 twice (% = right shift key + L1)
17C lines 4-6 twice (< = left shift key + R2)
17C lines 7-9 twice (> = left shift key + R3)
P. 42:
18B lines 1-3 twice (# = right shift key + L2)
18B lines 4-6 twice (& = left shift key + R1)
18B lines 7-9 twice (+ = left shift key + R4)
Additionally, there are only 2 weeks left in the first quarter, which ends on October 10th. We get out an hour early this Friday for Homecoming, and then have all next week. Next week there will be a vocab quiz (#5 - Internet #1), which we will take on Friday, which is the last day of the first quarter. BE PREPARED!!

*Formatting Activity 3 & 4
*Learn new keys: symbols
*Technique grade
At this point Im sure were all tired of learning the keyboard, but rest assured that youre making great progress! We really are nearing the end of learning the keys...my goal is to get these done as soon as we can so we can move on to bigger and better things in class.
So, with that in mind, we are going to try to get through the rest of the symbols this week (which should be easy to do). We dont have a vocab quiz this week which will also help.
Warmup: P. 40, 17B, lines 1-9 once
P. 41:
17C lines 1-3 twice (% = right shift key + L1)
17C lines 4-6 twice (< = left shift key + R2)
17C lines 7-9 twice (> = left shift key + R3)
P. 42:
18B lines 1-3 twice (# = right shift key + L2)
18B lines 4-6 twice (& = left shift key + R1)
18B lines 7-9 twice (+ = left shift key + R4)

Fourteenth Week
This week and next week in the computer lab...
Fifth, fourth, and third grade are learning to login to NetTrekker through Fulton Countys student portal. They are conducting a basic search and learning to navigate the site.
Second grade is going on a geo solid shape hunt! Take a look at the second grade blog to see our geo solid slideshows. The students used digital cameras to capture images of real geo solids. We then reviewed the pictures as a class and each group explained why each object represented each solid figure. If we disagreed, then we decided against using that picture in our class slideshow.
First grade is learning how to power on a computer and login as a student. We are also using the first grade blog to apply what weve learned in first grade this year.
Kindergarten is practicing their money skills using games from Js Math page. The link for this site is on the kindergarten blog in the math section.

Vocabulary Last of the symbol keys
WIKI
HTTP
EMOTICON
After talking about each of those vocabulary words briefly we will continue with learning the symbol keys. The good news is that today is the last day of learning the symbol keys - yaaayy!!
Today we will learn the = (R4), the _ (left shift + R4), and the * (left shift + R2). After today we only have the keypad left to learn. However, it takes a lot less time than learning either the letters, numbers, or symbols.

Week 3 vocab learn P and V
This is another week with vocabulary, so those people who are responsible for posting definitions on the Wiki spaces website should have that done by Tuesday night. Again, it is completely realistic to post definitions for all of your words for the rest of the semester, and if you want to get all of yours done tonight that would be perfectly ok. You dont have to wait until the week your definitions are due to post the definitions - you can post them early.
We will have another week of technique grades this week as well - continue to concentrate on the little things as this will have a lasting impact on how well you key and how fast you improve. I have been very pleased with Congos work on technique - an overwhelming majority of you do a fantastic job of listening and doing what is asked (in terms of technique) and it is paying off!
Today we are going to learn the P (R4) and the V (L1). After these two letters we are left with only the Z and the Q (in terms of letters) to learn.

Internet Safety 2 days left! Alice programming introduction
There are 2 days left to work on (in class) your Internet Safety project. Tomorrow is the last day you will be allowed to work on it and it should be done by the end of the hour.
If you are done you are going to begin working on Alice - an Educational software program that teaches you computer programming in a 3D environment. To use Alice, go to Finder on your computer. Next, double click on the Alice folder. Then, double click on the icon labeled Alice - you will need to agree to any user agreements.
Once you have opened Alice come back here and go to the following video and watch an introduction on how you will interact with the Alice interface.
Alice introductory video
Once you have watched that video you will begin working in Alice with Oracle Academy. You will work through a series of Lessons that will help you to better understand how Alice works and how to manipulate the Alice programming environment. Here is where you need to go:
Oracle Academy
Once at that website, click on "Get Started with Alice 3" under the red rectangle on the left side of the page (the red rectangle says "Self Study: Getting started with Java using Alice"). Work through each of the sections of that lesson - if you complete all of the sections move to the next lesson ("Add and Position Objects"); if you complete the different sections of that lesson move on the next lesson, and so on.
We will be using Alice often in the last quarter - you will be getting a head start on learning the software.
