School Closure Plans - 3

  • Student is expected to start working on each assignment in the noted time period and submit evidence of the work done weekly. It is not necessary that they finish the assignment. However, the student should do his/ her best in a total of 40 - 50 minutes in a week, working in periods of 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Hopefully of help: BrainPOP topic Distance Learning - Learning from home can be challenging. This lesson might help students in setting themselves up for success by organizing their work better.

Week 10 and 11 (May 26 - June 5)

Artificial Inteligence and Machine Learning (Code.org course/ activity link)

"Computer science is about so much more than coding! Learn about artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, training data, and bias, while exploring ethical issues and how AI can be used to address world problems. Enjoy Code.org's first step in a new journey to learn more about AI. When you use the AI for Oceans activity you are training real machine learning models."

Do the activities in a lesson in the given order.

Please email me print-screen or photos of the work done on the activities and/or the finished level(s).

Week 9 (May 18 - 24)

Four-Color Map (activity link - click here)

The four-color theorem states that any map in a plane can be colored using no more than four-colors in such a way that regions sharing a common boundary (other than a single point) do not share the same color.

The video to the right shows how to play this interactive activity/ game.

IMPORTANT: Student should be careful and skip the ad before starting the game.

Week 7 and 8 (May 4 - 17)

Pixel Art (ABCya.com game - click here)

Key question: How computers display images on a screen?

Students are already familiar with the term pixel. In class they were learning and working on an unplugged activities with objectives focused on building the student understanding about how computers display images by using numbers.

Students should make a pixel-art drawing on topic of their choice: first choose a color, choose a brush size and start clicking and dragging with the mouse. Turning off the grid will show how would the final artwork look like. At the end, the drawing should be saved by clicking the yellow folder button - play the (silent) video to the right for help.
