Today (for 4th period) and tomorrow (for 0 period) we are going to the Microsoft Store at Stanford Shopping Center. The idea behind this trip is to participate in the hour of code. Either in preparation (or reflection) of our trip, please respond to the following questions:
- Explain what is the "Hour of Code." You can do this based on your experience or by looking it up on the internet!
- Some really famous people are involved in marketing the "Hour of Code." These people include Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Black Eyed Peas founder will.i.am and NBA star Chris Bosh. Why is it so important to them (and others) that you learn computer programming? Having trouble finding the answer? Here's a fun video that might have some answers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FC5FbmsH4fw
- Why is getting introduced to computer science so important? Within this question, be sure to explain the job opportunities available in the Computer Science field. Need some help finding data? Check out this article (there's a video too) at http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-five-fastest-growing-jobs/
Thanks for your thorough, thoughtful response. Once you complete this blog please complete lesson 16.2 in edutyping. After completing lesson 16.2, please go ahead and begin working on Excel Lesson #2 which can be found in Schoology.
Thank you!
Mr. Rubin
