CodeAcademy/Khan Academy

For this module you may choose to do a course in CodeAcademy OR Khan Academy so take a few minutes to glance through each site to help you decide which one best fits what you would like to do.
You will not complete a course but make sure you are working every class period to receive all points.

OPTION 1: CODE ACADEMY
1. Go to codeacademy.com
2. Sign up using Google
3. Go to the Course Catalog (menu at the top).....You may choose any course you would like.
Learn HTML (building a website about brown bears) is a great one to start with for beginners.


HINTS:

  • Make sure you are documenting all of your work in your journal by putting a screenshot in when you pass a step!
  • (When you pass a step it will turn green on the lefthand side and give you a checkmark...this is when you should take a screenshot of your entire screen and put in your journal).
  • If you get stuck...there is help in the bottom right corner. (You can also ask me...I LOVE THIS MODULE!)
    • You can restart the exercise if you have changed to much of the code and can't remember how it started.
    • You can get on the Code Academy blog for hints and also see other people's posts about levels.
    • You have to be VERY detailed and EVERY single thing must be correct, spaces, ;, {}, etc....
