8P5-Online Coding

• Using Code.org, I coded making a square and rectangles because I wanted to learn more about coding and I found Code.org. It looks hard, but once you get the hang of it, it is super easy. All the once that made me go right was easy, but long. After a bit of coding, it gave me the JavaScript. It made things easier, but it was still long.

• During this process, I learned how to code and use the JavaScript on Code.org. I might go back in a couple of weeks and learn some more coding, or not. I did not know what the JavaScript was until I tried it out, so that is another thing I found out about. When it asked me to code the arrow to make a right square, I did not know what it meant because there was no right coding block.

• The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Empowered Learner because I chose I wanted to learn more about coding so I chose to go to Code.org and learn about coding and the JavaScript.

• A challenge I overcame on this project was coding the arrow to make a one by one square by only going straight and going right. I was able to do it by going straight and turning left 3 times. The coding was long, and I thought it was the only way. Then when they introduced the JavaScript, it was became shorter but it was still long.

• Given a chance to do this again, I would change what I did. The reason why I would change it is because it was so long and a waste of time, I learned, but I was doing the same thing for 15 minutes. So I wanted to learn something else. Also I would lean another way to make a right square because the coding took too long.
