Mr. Young                         Email:youngmr@limestone.on.ca                         Computer and Information Science                         ICS2/3/4                         Course Outline PDF                                          This course introduces students to computer programming concepts and practices.                                 Students will write and test computer programs, using various problem-solving                                 strategies. They will   learn the fundamentals of program design and apply a software                                 development life-cycle model to a software development project. Students will also                                 learn about computer environments and systems, and explore environmental issues                                 related to computers, safe computing practices, emerging technologies, and                                 postsecondary opportunities in computer-related fields.                         Unit 1: Working in a computing environment                         Unit Description                                 This unit focuses on basic computer and information science skills. Students                                 identify hardware components, research ergonomic considerations, practise                                 file management skills, access resources through local and wide area networks,                                 and research the evolution of programming languages. They develop skills for                                 success in the computer and information science environment.                                 Activity 1: Hardware definitions                                 Activity 2: Core System Build                                 Vegetable oil PC                                 Summative 1: Air & Water Cooling                                 Overclocking competition                                 Canada Hacked :newspaper article     Follow-up                                   Top Ten Anti-Virus: Article                                 10 Worst Virii: Article                                                  Canadian Internet Article: Article                                 Hardware and Overclocking Quiz                                 Unit 2: Beginning to Program                         Unit Description                                 This unit focuses on basic programming structures. Students write simple programs,                                 using variable assignment, repetition, and decision structures, and develop effective                                 testing, validating, and documenting skills. They also explore roles of effective                                 communicators and reflective thinkers when following a problem-solving model                                 (e.g., user inputs a series of marks, each value is validated, the average is calculated,                                 and a grade is assigned).                                                                  Introduction to FlashMX                                 Activity 1: Play and Pause Buttons                                         Teacher Example                                 Activity 2: Motion Tween                                         Teacher Example                                 Activity 3: Play and Pause buttons                                         Teacher Example                                 Summative 2: Create a branching program                                         Teacher Example                                                                                                   Unit 3: Problem Solving with Procedures and Functions                         Unit Description                                 This unit focuses on program modularity and career exploration. Students write                                 programs using existing sub-programs and then progress to writing programs                                 including their own sub-programs. They also explore careers in computer studies                                 and develop skills in program modularity (e.g., a program to encrypt/decrypt a                                 passage of text using substitution encoding).                                 Activity 1: Create a Character                                 Summative 4: Keyboard controllable character                                         Teacher Example                                 Activity 2: Advanced coding (using functions)                                 Activity 3: Add a fireball function                                                  Unit 4: Graphic Design                         Unit Description                                 This unit focuses on graphic design and design software. Students will become                                 familiar with Adobe Photoshop and learn how to create and design computer                                 graphics. Students will also learn how to manipulate and combine found images.                                 Activity 1: Tonal Fix                                         Example Image                                 Activity 2: Cyclops                                 Activity 3: Avatar Na'vi                                 Activity 4: Group photo edit                                 Unit 5: Website Design                         Unit Description                                 This unit focuses on creating websites using Dreamweaver MX. Stundets will                                 become familiar with HTML coding, actionscript use, and flash objects.                                 Activity 1: Website presentation                                 Activity 2: Information "BIO" page design                                 Activity 3: Create a webquest page (using information gathered for the website presentation)                                 Activity 4: Frameset homepage                                 Unit 6: Google SketchUP                         Unit Description                                 This unit focuses on creating 3D models using Google SketchUP software.                                 Students will create solid models, apply textures, and material properties.                                                          Activity 1: Google SketchUP Introduction                                 Activity 2: Create a SNES controller                                     Activity 3: Create a Laptop                                 Culminating Activity                                                                         Culminating Activity
