Email from April 17, 2018
Hello all,
I won't see you until next week, so here's a few things to help with processing during math class. Mr. C, feel free to have them open this email during math class on Friday and do all of these steps.
1) Brady noticed I made a wrong link to the video on my webpage, which would explain why Char and Laura were confused during study hall today. Sorry folks! That video you watched is awesome as well but it does NOT tell you the answers to the question I asked on the webpage. The webpage now has the corrected link. Remember there are other sub-menus there too, to watch more videos if you want to!
2) Some of you have not yet put your openprocessing files into our online class. I'd asked you to put the file where you upload an image into openprocessing. Laura, Ellie, Brady, Andrew, Kefan, Arya all know how to do this. The rest of you haven't yet proven to me that you know how. Get it up there ASAP.
3) For your Project:
a) put your unfinished project into our classroom on openprocessing, in the collection called First Projects. Call your program something useful, like "Laura's triangles", if you're Laura. (Don't call it something generic like "triangles" as I want to know whose triangles I'm looking at.)
If you need help:
b) be sure your program has useful comments in it, including where you're having trouble and/or code you've tried that hasn't worked (never delete code that doesn't work, just comment it out and write what's not working or what you're trying to do in the comments.) Sometimes just writing the comments helps you figure out the logic you need to make the code work!
c) Ask three and then me... many of you can help each other.
d) Computer programmers use a LOT of online resources to figure out how to do what they do. Great resources include:
4) I'm traveling and doing training on how to teach Raspberry Pi computer programming on Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun and will have limited access to email. I will do the best I can to answer your questions remotely.
I expect Friday to be a productive day of programming. Best wishes!
Ms. Fisher

d) Computer programmers use a LOT of online resources to figure out how to do what they do. Great resources include:
- Dan Schiffman's video series - watch whichever you think would be helpful (or ask me which one!)
- p5js Reference
- openprocessing.org (look at other's code; use it if you understand it!)
- My Website (probably the least great!
