Blog 15: Independent Component 2 Approval

Content:

Please review the component contract at page 12 of the senior project packet.   The independent component 2 is an opportunity for you to add a dimension of creativity and/or an additional outlet for research.  The goal of the component is for you to explore your answers in more depth.  On Friday April 25, 2014, you will be turning in the following to your blog to prove completion of this component:

·       Log of hours on an digital spreadsheet (with total number of hours included)
·       Evidence of the 30 hours of work (e.g. transcript, essays, tests, art work, photographs) as digital artifacts
·       LIA
 The senior team expects that your log will be on the right hand side of your blog with your WB, independent component log 1 and mentorship log.   In addition to this,  we expect that you will be able to prove the total 30 hours of work by submitting evidence to the blog by the due date.  For this blog post and approval, please answer the following questions.

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.
For this Independent Component, I plan on taking an online course for one or more programming languages such as Objective-C, Javascript, or PHP. This will include practicing coding and understanding syntax, uses, and how to properly code using the language. The site that I will be using will be either Code School or Code Academy.
2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.
I will take screenshots of what I am learning as well as notes to show that I am understanding how each language works.
3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.
This will help me explore my topic more in-depth because these are common languages used for mobile development. Learning the language and understanding how they work can help me explore the idea as to why they are used as standard languages for mobile developers.
4.  Post a log on the right hand side of your blog near your other logs and call it the independent component 2 log.
DONE
Your answers to the questions should be supported with details and examples for the senior team to understand what you plan to do.   Once we review your Blog Post 15, your house teacher will discuss with you the approval of your plan.  If it is approved, please start working on it.  If it is not approved, your house teacher will explain why.  It is your job to address the concerns so you can get your component approved.
