7th Grade

Work will always be up to date and current in the Google Classroom.

6/1--Due to the popularity of the giveaway across schools, and to give everyone a chance, we are extending the deadline to this Friday. It seems the system is stopping your entries.

Please send your name, grade, and school to jkershner@holyfamilyaston.org and I will forward them on.


5/26--There are no new assignments for Technology class for this year, but I do have an end of year message for you, and my company, Education Technology Professionals is doing a giveaway. One student in grades 4 through 8 will get a Makey-Makey device.

You may watch a video with the message and giveaway announcement at: https://youtu.be/6rpgGuGg3QU

To enter to win the Makey-Makey, send your name, grade, and that you are a Holy Family student to: giveaway@educationtechpros.com


5/5--Please go to the Google Classroom and do the Python Turtle Introduction assignment. It is a video to watch and a form to fill out based on what you see in the video. It is a participation/homework grade.


As of 4/1, the current assignments are:

  • 45 minutes of practice each week at tynker.com in the Programming 300 course. The links to the individual assignments are in the classroom. If you click on the link there and sign in, you should be able to pick up where you left off either in your dashboard, or under courses--both links on the left side of the page.
  • Once done with the above, spend at least 90 minutes over two weeks building a game. In Tynker, log in and click "Projects" and then "Create a Project." You may choose either a blank project, or to add a physics or platform project. MAKE CERTAIN YOU SAVE THE PROJECT REGULARLY AND OFTEN.
    • Create a game with at least 5 actors.
    • At least two of the actors must interact with each other
      • sensing the presence of the other actor
      • broadcast and receive a message
    • At least one of the actors must respond or interact with the person playing the game.
    • The game must keep a score.
  • If you complete both of these, please continue to explore tynker.com.

An example of the game assignment is linked below along with a YouTube video explaining it.
