Learning without doing

It’s certainly possible.
But it’s unlikely you could learn to ride a bike by watching a lot of videos about it.
Or teach a toddler to walk.
In fact, it’s unlikely that you could learn to sell, to design useful objects or to solve interesting problems either.
You can try to learn without doing.
But why?

May intro conversation into PLC - Product Life Cycle
Concerning your phone, given we have already looked at specific product/company Warranties, why would one need additional coverage in the form of “phone replacement” through your cell service provider?

I will not have access to answers
Not too sure if it will give you answers either.
But it will be a good look as to types of questions to expects from the APCSP testing


--------------
   3.7 APIs and Using Functions with Parameters

Objectives

Students will be able to:

Use parameters to provide different values as input to procedures when they are called in a program.
Use API documentation to assist in writing programs.
Define an API as the set of commands made available by a programming language.

Vocabulary

API - a collection of commands made available to a programmer
Documentation - a description of the behavior of a command, function, library, API, etc.
Hexadecimal - A base-16 number system that uses sixteen distinct symbols 0-9 and A-F to represent numbers from 0 to 15.
Library - a collection of commands / functions, typically with a shared purpose
Parameter - An extra piece of information passed to a function to customize it for a specific need

Introduced Code

  • moveTo
  • turnTo
  • arcRight
  • arcLeft
  • penWidth
  • penColor
  • penRGB
  • Call a function with parameters


Agenda
Getting Started
"Do you think programmers memorize all of the commands in a programming language?
If not, how is anyone ever able to use an entire programming language?"

Think and share

Programmers weren’t born knowing how a programming language works, and, like you and
me, they don’t have perfect memories. Instead they rely on written documentation to help
them learn new features of a language and recall how it works. Today we are going to be
exploring how useful documentation can be when learning a programming language or
just writing software.

Activity

Wrap Up

Reviewing Vocabulary
Share your Images
If there is time remaining, provide students an opportunity to share images they
created using the full turtle library.

Assessment
    Code.org

Extended Learning
Design an image using the drawing commands reviewed today. Share the image (but not the code used to generate it) with a classmate and challenge him to recreate the image. How close can he get? Did you complete the task in the same way?
