Today's GrokIt:

Welcome to another year of GrokIt!

GrokIt originally appeared 12 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 @

Pick one article, read it and leave a comment.

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. 

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?" 

Today, we're starting class 'officially' on Monday, January 4th as we return from holiday break. 

See you on Zoom,
