Good Morning,
You've been selected to take part in one of the greatest courses you'll ever have in high school: Computer Science. This year, we'll be exploring how to code using Java, a sophisticated, text-based programming language that is a mainstay in the coding community. We'll also be using a number of websites and apps to get you up and running.
GrokIt
You may remember GrokIt if you've taken anything with me before. GrokIt is where you begin every cass by reading a short article or viewing a brief video and leaving a comment. his year, they'll also be an instruction on what we're doing in class that day.
Slack
https://app.slack.com/client/T01HK32KJ7N/D01H676RWJ2
Slack is a website where we can converse. It's almost like a chat or even texting. I'll be sending you an invite to join up. If you have any questions you can post them up here.
CSAwesome
https://csawesome.runestone.academy/runestone/books/published/csawesome/index.html
CSAwesome will be our coding platform for the year. I'll assign labs and exercises from here. I've already enrolled each of you. Your login is SCyourstudentnumber i.e SC12345 and your password is PWyourstudentnumnber.
Zoom
https://zoom.us/j/8230296683?pwd=KzU1bCthMGtTbTBockkyUGoxcEplQT09
We'll be having some zoom meetings but not all of our class time will be spent on Zoom.
So what should you do now?
Check out GrokIt. There's already an assignment for today.
Check out Slack. I'm sending you an invite.
Check out CSAwesome. Login using your credentials
Check out Zoom.
I'll be here if you want to give me a "What's Poppin?"
For today get yourself up and running. We'll be starting class 'officially' on Monday, January 4th when we return from holiday break.
Talk to you,

Today's GrokIt:
Welcome to another year of GrokIt!
GrokIt originally appeared 9 years ago. While teaching at RHS, I conceived it as the digital equivalent of the Do Now or activator you may be used to other teachers giving to you to start the class.
Interestingly enough, I believe the blog has taken up a much more important role in my classes.
I envision using GrokIt as a hi-tech portal to get you and your energies focused on the class topics of the day by hyperlinking around the net to:
•discover state-of the-art technologies
•bump into some engaging topic
•just enjoy a fun and interesting website.
My hope is to try to kindle a spark of interest in computers and technology.
After all, the World Wide Web and everything in it was created by software developers, computer programmers, web designers, all kinds of techie people of which you are the next generation.
I also want to create a class community, a public forum from which you could express your opinions and see the opinions of others about these topics.
So here's today's GrokIt.
One of my favorite sites is Wired. Check it out @
http://www.wired.com/
Pick one article, read it and leave a comment.

Let's take a look at computing and computer science in the future! In the past 70 years electronic computing has fundamentally changed how we live our lives, and we believe it’s just getting started. From ubiquitous computing, artificial intelligence, and self-driving cars to brain computer interfaces, wearable computers, and maybe even the singularity there is so much amazing potential on the horizon. Of course there is also room for peril with the rise of artificial intelligence and more immediate displacement of much of the workforce through automation. It’s tough to predict how it will all shake out, but it’s our hope that this series has inspired you to take part in shaping that future.

Good Morning,
You've been selected to take part in one of the greatest courses you'll ever have in high school: Computer Science. This year, we'll be exploring how to code using Java, a sophisticated, text-based programming language that is a mainstay in the coding community. We'll also be using a number of websites and apps to get you up and running.
GrokIt
dmacrhs.blogspot.com
You may remember GrokIt if you've taken anything with me before. GrokIt is where you begin every cass by reading a short article or viewing a brief video and leaving a comment. his year, they'll also be an instruction on what we're doing in class that day. 1
Slack
https://app.slack.com/client/TMBLL8YSK/CMBLL9BKR
Slack is a website where we can converse. It's almost like a chat or even texting. I'll be sending you an invite to join up. If you have any questions you can post them up here.
CSAwesome
https://csawesome.runestone.academy/runestone/default/courses
CSAwesome will be our coding platform for the year. I'll assign labs and exercises from here. I've already enrolled each of you. Your login is SCyourstudentnumber i.e SC12345 and your password is PWyourstudentnumnber.
Zoom
https://zoom.us/j/94286855416?pwd=RGJZMC9ST1lyTkpsT3Vkbng0YXpmZz09 Meeting ID: 942 8685 5416
We'll be having some zoom meetings but not all of our class time will be spent on Zoom.
So what should you do now?
Check out GrokIt. There's already an assignment for today.
Check out Slack. I'm sending you an invite.
Check out CSAwesome. Login using your credentials
Check out Zoom.
I'll be here if you want to give me a "What's Poppin?"
For today get yourself up and running. We'll be starting class 'officially' today on Monday.
Talk to you,
dmac

Today's GrokIt:
Welcome to another year of GrokIt!GrokIt originally appeared 9 years ago. While teaching at RHS, I conceived it as the digital equivalent of the Do Now or activator you may be used to other teachers giving to you to start the class.
Interestingly enough, I believe the blog has taken up a much more important role in my classes.
I envision using GrokIt as a hi-tech portal to get you and your energies focused on the class topics of the day by hyperlinking around the net to:
•discover state-of the-art technologies
•bump into some engaging topic
•just enjoy a fun and interesting website.
My hope is to try to kindle a spark of interest in computers and technology.
After all, the World Wide Web and everything in it was created by software developers, computer programmers, web designers, all kinds of techie people of which you are the next generation.
I also want to create a class community, a public forum from which you could express your opinions and see the opinions of others about these topics.
So here's today's GrokIt.
One of my favorite sites is Wired. Check it out @
http://www.wired.com/
Pick one article, read it and leave a comment.

George Ezra

Ghost
Girlschool
Glenn Frey
Glorious Sons, The
Godsmack
Goldie & the Gingerbreads
But 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.
You know about 5G, the backbone upon which the next generation of the digital economy will be built. Each advance in cell phone technology has brought a change in user habits. The second generation of cellular networks delivered texting; the third generation boosted speeds to a few megabits per second, allowing for the first smartphones. More recently, 4G networks have delivered streaming video to people waiting in line at the DMV. The promise of a 5G network seems almost mythic in comparison—a leap of perhaps a hundredfold over 4G speeds, with virtually no latency and the ability to connect an astonishing number of devices and sensors to the network. Evangelists today proclaim that 5G will usher in the true internet of things.
