Computational Thinking Making Information Available to the World
Computational Thinking Making Information Available to the World with HTML and Web Pages Computational thinking is a problem solving method that uses computer science techniques including: • Algorithms • HTML • Binary Addition • Functions • Operations Desktop Publishing with MS Word Using an HTML application, such as Notepad++, a computer scientist can create web pages and upload them to the internet. A basic HTML format is usually used to create a web page. <html> <head> Computational thinking is used to solve complicated mathematical procedures, to graph and analyze data in a convenient way, to organize information, to create useful applications, and to easily make information available to the public. <title> </head> <body> With the help of Microsoft Word, you can create a large web page with various tools such as: </body> </html> As shown in the top right corner, multiple HTML tags can be used to alter the text and images of a web page. You can also include links on a web page and many other fancy things. Some of the basic HTML tags are <b> for bold, <p> for paragraph, <i> for italics, <h 1>, <h 2>, … for headings, <img src = “ ”> for an image, and <a href=“ ”> for a link. Don’t forget most of these tags must be nested, meaning you use a </b> </i> and </p> after the text input! NEED TO PRESENT INFORMATION ? WANT TO GET YOUR STATISTICS ORGANIZED? Use Microsoft Power. Point to create useful pie, bar, and even 3 D charts! Execute functions, organize data, and don’t stress with MS Excel! Organize all of your information and attract attention by using multiple slides and FANCY slide introductions Too much information? Use Microsoft Excel to organize all of that crowded data. Excel allows a user to sort, highlight, and even execute function so you don’t have to do the MATH!! • • • Insert Image Text Wrapping Text Box Bulleted/Numbered Lists Table of Contents Bibliography Visual Programming with Alice Java. Script is a programming application used within HTML. We can use it to create advanced webpage’s that include functions, methods, and If Else, just like in Alice. A visitor of the web page can even click on buttons to execute certain functions and obtain a result! I created this fancy Black Jack game using Java. Script Alice allows a user to create a 3 D world using Classes, Objects, Control Structures, Loops, If Else, Methods, and Parameters. Although designed for a 5 th grader, Alice can be tricky to create the world you want. However, you can bring your animations to life by adding objects and controlling their roles using Function, Loops, and Methods. If you want a certain scenario to happen if another certain scenario happens, then you can always use an If Else. Don’t forget to organize all of your functions accordingly and make a call to each one!
