There are three major goals for the day. You have a printed worksheet regarding a particular cat that talks in a very calculated way. Figure out what that is before we discuss it in class. We would secondly like to try again to get FizzBuzz running in a web browser on your own computer, much in the same way it runs on the exhibits page for that project. Instructions and links to click on are below. Thirdly, we have some left over Word business to take care of. There are a few important skills that you need to know which relate to research papers of the sort you will soon be writing: footnotes and endnotes, citations, and bibliographies. We will take a short break from Scratch in order to practice those skills and then return to Scratch for the grand finale.
In order to get FizzBuzz to run in a web browser on your own computer, you will need three files:
FizzBuzz.html, the web page that displays in the browser
ScratchApplet.jar, the Java applet that runs inside the web page
FizzBuzz.sb, your own FizzBuzz program that the applet, rather than Scratch itself, will run
In each case you want to download and save the files, not view them directly. In IE that means right clicking on the link and choosing Save Target As... Put them all in the same directory.
Your operating system might block the downloaded FizzBuzz.html from displaying on your computer. If necessary, right click on the file and choose Properties. Toward the bottom you might see "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer." If so, there should be an Unblock button nearby. Click it to allow your FizzBuzz to display.
