Welcome
This wiki supports learning of high school computer science.[edit]
| This wiki specifically targets IB Computer Science Standard Level and Higher Level (years 1 and 2) including options for web science and modeling and simulation. Additionally, this wiki supports learning for two computational design courses, Designing solutions through programming (aka introduction to programming) and Solving complex problems through programming (aka advanced programming). Both courses are MYP design courses.
Students for Mr. MacKenty: click the respective links for course syllabi, discussion board and Moodle LMS (under construction). NEWS: We are adding dynamic formative assessment to many of our wiki articles. Look at our networking page for examples. Try it, it's cool.
