Create PT Webinar 1/20 Recording

This thing only lets me give one like so I will say thank you directly.

In terms of preparing for the create PT we are doing the code.org lessons. The only unique thing is I have been taking some of the coding exercises and adding to them or improving them with the class on Zoom.

At my school we have the policy of nothing is ever late. So we have some serious procrastinators.

I am concerned about what happens when they are presented with a blank page and asked for a project.

The question I have going on my third year of concern is the no help policy. Prior to becoming a teacher, If a relative or friend asked me to help their child with a project I would agree. The Collage Board has yet to tell every computer programmer in North America not to help with the Performance Task.

I think we have all have experienced the level of frustration that comes with believing something should work and it doesn’t. We saw that frustration erupt here PLEASE HELPPPPPP i am not able to work through my app! what do i do? i think all of my code is correct but its still not working. can anyone help me find out why it wont run like i want it to?. Now try that with a brain that is flooded with hormones and not even fully formed! With the AP exam parents are laying down cold hard cash for a result. No pressure there.

And that brings me to my pet rant. We know that some communities have few computer programmers in them while others are filled up. So if a student finds themselves asking for help, and some will regardless of rules, getting that help will depend on which community they are in.
