Finishing up For Loops and Animation

Mass Framework:

Standard 1:

Demonstrate proficiency in the use of computers and applications as well as an understanding of concepts underlying hardware, software, and connectivity.

Standard 2:

Demonstrate responsible use of technology and an understanding of ethics and safety issues in using electronic media.

Standard from Technology/Engineering Standards for a Full First-Year Course in Grades 9 or 10

Broad Concept: Engineering design involves practical problem solving, research, development, and invention and requires designing, drawing, building, testing and redesigning.

Learning Objective:

To understand how to create a generalized solution, an algorithm in order to create a computer program.
To follow the flow of a program's execution
To code loop constructs.
To write how conditionals were used in their programs and how they effect program execution.
To comment their code.

Learning Experience:

3 minute Paper

If I made a comment on your 3 minute papers, for credit for your paper, I expect you to either answer my question or expand upon your answer. If you don't have enough time to finish either finish it before going to the computer or stop early at the end of the class. Finishing all your 3 minute papers is your responsibility.
How did we use a flag and why did we need to use one- Out of the 4 different types of programming constructs what type of construct was the flag associated. Although we haven't learned about different kinds of loop yet, other than the For Loop, can you think of how a flag might be in different types of loops.

3 minute paper -
- Dip Sticking
Given the following code

There are 3 properties Xaxis, Yaxis and moveBy that are all Integers.

for i=0 to 25

// What happens with this code

canvas1.refresh
canvas1.graphics.DrawOval (Xaxis+moveBy,Yaxis, 50+moveBy,50)
