Python Programming is a course modified from my high school course to allow younger students to learn java programming as well.  In addition to video chat and screen sharing, we will be using replit.com as a coding platform.  I use replit.com in my physical classrooms as well.  It provides a 100% online code editor with real-time feedback.  Students can immediately run their code to see what the program looks like.  replit.com also provides the teacher the ability to assign classwork and share code with others in real time.  Each student will be required to create a free account on replit.com and join my classroom for access to class material.  I will walk students through this process during the first session.  

This is the fourth unit in a five unit course.  Students do not need to continue on in the course unless they wish to learn more about python programming. Unit 4 covers the following topics:
creating a GUI(graphical user interface)
using rgb values to create color
using the coordinate system to place objects
drawing shapes within the GUI

A typical session involves several mini-lessons.  I will share my screen in order to show students a new topic.  Afterwards students will attempt to use the newly learned topic on their own repl.it screen with guidance from me when needed.  Once all students have mastered a topic the class will move on to the next mini-lesson.  If all students master every topic for the session we will move on to topics from the next session.  If we reach the final session with extra time I will introduce some extended topics or topics the students request.  

Other units in the series covers the following:
Unit 1: replit intro, output, variables, input, casting, math functions, random number generator
Unit 2 – conditional statements, logic operators, rgb color values, common algorithms used with conditionals
Unit 3 – while loops, counters, flags, sentinel values, for loops, common algorithms used with iteration
Unit 4 – creating a GUI(graphical user interface), color, coordinate system, drawing shapes with the GUI
Unit 5 – creating functions, calling functions, parameters, return values, creating arrays, modifying arrays, traversing arrays, common algorithms used with arrays
