Today is a banner day in our class.  We will be working through a WEEK OF CODE.  As part of the Nation-Wide Computer Science Education Week, we will be working on the CODE.ORG Basic Tutorial. We will all watch the Introduction Video in class, and you will have a chance to sign up for your account and begin programming afterwards.  Please use your TWITTER ACCOUNT to sign up and TWEET your progress to everyone in class.  Make sure that in your 140 character TWEET you use the HASHTAG #caatech so everyone can find your posts.  I will be coming around during the class to make sure you are on track.  You may use your EARBUDS in class to work at your own pace this week!  Please do not use large, bulky headphones as they are against classroom rules.  If you miss a day, you can start anytime this week.
