Tools for School Evernote

 Explain what it does and how it might be used

Getting all of your notes together, hunting for quotes, and tracking down bibliographical information takes at least as long, if not longer, as writing the paper itself.

In a group situation, sharing research and collaborating on the production of one document is even more difficult without the proper tools.
Enter Evernote. For students, it’s an invaluable way to organize research and streamline the collaboration process. Here are some examples of how Evernote simplifies the student research process

Tools for school ~Delicious

http://delicious.com/

Explain what it does and how it might be use The Delicious web tool is a free social bookmarking tool used to store, share and discover website bookmarks.

 A series of screen shots that describe how to use it

Delicious has a "hotlist" on its home page and "popular" and "recent" pages, which help to make the website a conveyor of Internet memes and trends.

Delicious is one of the most popular social bookmarking services. Many features have contributed to this, including the website's simple interface, human-readable URL scheme, a novel domain name

Tell us if the tool can be used on a smart phone or tablet as well as a computer: Yes it can.

Programing games

This term I have been working with Simran Kaur Dhillon to edit and create games using javascript on Sharepoint. We have managed to create the games hangman and connect 4and we have managed to add our own features into the 2 programs. We encorporated Variable, Buttons, and hyperlinks in order to acheive a mini game website.  Here some Screen Shots of the Home page and the two game pages.

 This is an image of my homepage:

Guess my Number

Today i have learnt how to  make a guess my number form on a webpage by pasting the Javazcript into Sharepoint.

Selection and Repetition

Selection and Repetition

As we have mentioned in previous lessons Algorithms are composed of three basic structures. Sequence, Selection and Repetition.

We have already looked at sequence (the single steps in the algorithms we did before are sequence) so what are selection and repetition.

Solving a problem often involves making a decision between two or more options. In an algorithm this process of making a decision is called selection.

Describe, in plain english, an algorithm for;

(you may need to research algorithms in google.

Use the word “if” ie If red then ……)

1.    Moving through a set of traffic lights.

2.    Deciding whether to take an umbrella to school.

3.    Giving a student an A, B or C on their test.

Often an algorithm will often require you to repeat a task in order to solve a problem; when this is done in an algorithm the structure is called repetition.

Describe, in plain english, an algorithm for;

1.    Adding the correct amount of cordial to water to make a drink.

2.    Filling a bucket with water.

3.    Blowing up a balloon.

Algorithm?

What is an Algorithm?

An unambiguous set of steps, which when performed correctly by a processor, will result in a process being carried out in a finite time.

For example if you were to explain to someone how to make a cup of coffee you would be defining an algorithm;
1. boil the water,
2. place coffee in the cup,
3. place sugar in the cup,
4. add the boiling water,
5. add milk,
6. stir.


1. Examine the algorithm above. What two properties of the algorithm enable it to correctly describe the solution to the problem of making a cup of coffee? What is it that makes an algorithm correct?(Hint: what would happen if you swapped step "6" and step "2"?)
The algorithym contains simple easy to understand steps which are straight to the point and they have to be in a sequentiall order.  What makes an algorythm correct is the fact that there are numbers beside the steps which enable the person to know the correct order in which the steps should be taken.




2. Define Algorithms for the following processes.

POSTING A LETTER1. Write or obtain a letter

2. Fold it appropriately

3. Find the correct size envelope

4. Write the address on the cover cover of the envelope

5. Seal the folded letter inside the envelope

6. Travel to the post office

7. Buy the appropriate postage stamp

8. Paste the stamp on the top right corner of the envelope

9. Place the letter in the postbox
MAKING TOAST
1. Place two pieces of toast in the toaster

2. Adjust toaster to the appropriate settings

3. Push the leaver down and submerge the slices

4. Wait for the toast to pop up

5. Put your desired spread on the toast

6. Eat your toast!

CALLING A FRIEND ON THE PHONE
1. Search the phone book

2. Locate the number of the friend

3. Dial the number on the phone

4. Wait till he/she picks up!

5. Press the 'end' button at the end of the conversation
