BUT THERE IS 1 IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER:
 If you write a sentence in English and misspell a word, I will still understand you. But if we make the SMALLEST MISTAKE writing to a computer, the computer will not understand.  The computer will do nothing . . . or do something you did not want it to do.
     This is maybe the HARDEST part of learning computer programing.  You work and work and work and then try to run your program and it doesn't work!  WHY?  You look and look and then find SUCH A SMALL MISTAKE!  So we must work very carefully.
So here are 5 coding rules:
1)  THINK  CAREFULLY.
2)  BE EXACT.
3)  NEVER HURRY.
4)  GO STEP-BY-STEP TO SOLVE BIG PROBLEMS.
5)  PERSIST LIKE A SQUIRREL!  (see videos  > .)

DEBUGGING: Finding and fixing errors (mistakes) in a computer program.
EVENT: An action that causes the computer to do something. When you type a letter, to the computer, it is "an event".  When you click your mouse, it is an event.
JAVA: One language a computer speaks.
LOOPS: Loops are an action you repeat.
X:  The symbol used to show the left or right placement of an object.   x --------------------------- x
Y:  The symbol sued to show the up or down placement of an object.             Y

2) Learning to code gives you a new way to think. Coding will help you think more clearly.
3) Learning to code helps you learn to solve (to find answers to) life problems:
 • When you code, everything you do is taking steps to get to a solution. You just need to take one step at a time to solve ANY problem, even a big problem.
• When you code, you turn BIG problems into many small parts you can understand.

  • Does the author have education, experience, and expertise in the field? 
Purpose/Point of view. 
  • Does the author have an agenda beyond education or information?  How was the information produced?  
  • Respected news sources, for example, have processes in place to ensure the information they share is correct.
  • Fact-checking sites like Snopes, Politifact, and FactCheck.org also employ experts who investigate claims, and processes in place to correct mistakes. 
  • Rather than seeing a site's perspective (way of viewing something) as bad, we must instead learn to factor perspective into our evaluation of a source.
  • Just because a site has political bias, that shouldn’t be a reason to discount them as a source of information. Rather, we should read what they say with the understanding that they are likely to see the issues and present evidence in a way that supports their perspective. 
Publisher. 
  • Does the publisher have an agenda? 
List of sources (bibliography). 
  • Is the evidence reliable, sensible, and accessible? 
Year of publication. 
  • Does the date of publication affect the information?

]]> 2020-11-04 11:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889509456 Here are some RULES for using the internet theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889517433 2020-11-04 11:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889517433 Rule 1: Don't judge a website by its looks or name. theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889518403 You know that there is no such thing as Spider-Man. The Spider-Man costume is really amazing but behind the costume is just an ordinary man. The "special effects" movies can do with computers makes it look like he can fly, climb buildings, and save the world. But you know he's an actor.

* Websites are also "costume".  So rule #1 is: You have to look behind the costume (or LOOKS of a website) and see what is really there.
    Now go to the Co2 Science website. 
    http://www.co2science.org/index.php
    What do you see there?
• Are there good things?
• Are there not-so-good things?
• Remember:  Even a site that is not telling the truth will have some good things on it. 
• ASK YOURSELF:
   Who's behind the costume? (This is really, REALLY important.) Who is really giving the information?
   But wait! You don't have to decide alone if the site is telling you the truth. ]]> 2020-11-04 11:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889518403 theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889520277 2020-11-04 11:30:26 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889520277 theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889527489 2020-11-04 11:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889527489 Rule #2: Lateral reading theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889536152 • To see if a site is credible, read about it on other websites. Do a Google search using the name of the website. The FIRST website in a Google search is not necessarily the BEST site. ]]> 2020-11-04 11:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889536152 Rule #3: Click restraint theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889608202      • Look down the whole page
     • First just read the titles
     • Click open the ones that you know are from reliable sources:  Wikipedia, Sourcewatch, Snopes, greenpeace 
  • Look at the references these sources give to back up what they are saying.]]> 2020-11-04 12:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/889608202 LATERAL READING theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/897711932 1) Is the web address the same as the site you are checking?

1) Who wrote this?
2) What authority do they have?
3) What evidence do they have to prove what they say?
4) Is the evidence GOOD evidence?
5) Do they use the evidence fair?
6) Is the evidence relevant?]]> 2020-11-07 14:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/900023302 Video fakes and photos theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/904566604 1) keyword search based on the content of the video.  If the keyword search turns up results, look to see if the video has been posted on reputable sites. If so, use those sites to learn more about the video and watch the full video yourself.
However, if the video has only been posted on sites of doubtful reliability, it could be a sign that the video is bogus. 
    • who made it
    • where it came from
    • has it been altered (image or voice)
• deep fake
2) Reverse image search
3) All text has context
]]> 2020-11-09 15:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/904566604 GRAPHS (funny examples) theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/905398689 1) Who's behind the data?
2) Is it relevant?
3) Is the data presented accurately? Charts and infographics can often distort and misrepresent legitimate data. Infographics frequently use convincing images that distract viewers from the data or misrepresent it. Charts can also be manipulated to distort data. One of the most common strategies is to deceive viewers by altering the scales of charts. For example, expanding the scale of a chart can give the illusion that a phenomenon is much smaller or less important than it is. Conversely, restricting the range of a scale can make a change or effect appear much larger than it is in reality.]]> 2020-11-09 18:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/905398689 IMPORTANT IDEA #3 theschoolinside https://padlet.com/theschoolinside/maisam/wish/1221738990 Persist like a squirrel!
