  1. Adventures in Computational Thinking By Katherine McLeod Making Information Available to the World with HTML and Web Pages Desktop Publishing with MS Word Computational Thinking • We used HTML to create websites • Through a program called Secure File Transfer Client we were able to put these webpages online • CSE 3 gives you Information Technology (IT) fluency including proficiency with certain computer applications (traditional computer literacy), principles on which you can build new understand as IT evolves, high-level reasoning and IT problem solving, and basic web programming (HTML/XHTML). • Becoming skilled at Information Technology • Algorithms and Digitizing Information • Data and Information Analysis and Presentation • Problem Solving • Through Microsoft Word, we learned about file structures and how to use advanced features • We created a page about our major that included out planned classes. • We also duplicated a page online into a more formatted setting including subsection, pictures, and a table of content. Presentation of Information with MS PowerPoint Date Analysis and Visualization with MS Excel • Through Excel, we were able to create a spreadsheet that calculated how much extra money we had to spend while attending school at UCSD • We learned how to manipulate financial data using advanced spreadsheet skills with Microsoft Excel • We then analyzed the performance of stocks and investments by making a slideshow on Microsoft PowerPoint Visual Programming with Alice Dynamic Webpage Programming with JavaScript • After learning HTML, we were able to move onto JavaScript with allowed us to create attractive and interactive pages • We created a t-shirt order page that calculates the price of t-shirts based on the size and color chosen. It then added up the total price of the order. • We also created a simple black jack game that allowed the user to bet a certain amount and randomly gave a total card value to the user and the computer, and in turn announced who the winner of the round was. • Alice allowed us to create animation and movies • With basic programming skills and an understanding of the program we were able to create a short slip of frogs having a conversation and then jumping into a lake when a hawk flies by. • We created a clock where the hands actually work like a real clock.
