11. BIG THANK YOU TO…
2nd Hour: Eliza, Kari, Isabelle, Anna, Ashley, Jordan*
5th Hour: Daniel, Sarah, Alexa, Jacob*
for reading directions yesterday and uploading your AP# to the digital portfolio

12. Day 1—Decide on an Innovation
Brainstorm ideas for computing innovations
Has or has had an impact on society
Significant beneficial and harmful effects on society, economy, or culture
Consumes, produces, and/or transforms data
Raises at least on data storage concern, data privacy concern, or data security concern
Simultaneously search to see if you can find potential sources for the innovations you are considering
2 (of your 3+) sources must be written after May 2017
By the end of this day, you should have decided on an innovation.

13. Day 2—Finalize Innovation, Find Acceptable Sources & Draft Responses
Find sources to help with the written responses and creation of computational artifact
What do you want to say in your artifact?
Remember that 2 of your sources have to be since May 2017
Find additional sources to fill in any gaps
Use Explore PT Planning Organizer to help focus your research
Place important quotes/information in a draft of your responses
Can download template on Digital Portfolio or refer to Survival Guide for specific prompts

14. Day 3—Continue research on Effect & Data (prompts 2c and 2d)
Find 1+ beneficial effect and 1+ harmful effect the computing innovation has on society, economy, or culture.
What data does your innovation use?
How does your innovation consume (input), produce (output) and/or transform (edits) data?
Find a data storage concern, data privacy concern, or data security concern related to your innovation
Are 2 of your sources since May 2017?

15. 2c & 2d responses (found in survival guide)
2c) The beneficial effect of this computing innovation is…
As a result, this benefits society/culture/economy, because ___________ is positively impacted/affected by…(explain who is impacted and HOW) according to___________ (include in-line citation)
The harmful effect of this computing innovation is…
As a result, this benefits society/culture/economy, because ___________ is negatively impacted/affected by…(explain who is impacted and HOW) according to___________ (include in-line citation)
2d) The computing innovation takes _______________ data and does _____________ in order to produce _______________ (provide specific examples of data NOT the device and explain what is done with the data)
A security/privacy/storage concern is… (explain what could happen if the data fell into the wrong hands or was used in a different way than how it was intended).

16. Day 4—Computational Artifact
Description:
An illustration, representation, or explanation of the computing innovation’s intended purpose, its function or its effect.
It must not simply repeat the information supplied in the written responses and should be primarily non-textual.
To include:
Include the name of the computing innovation
Describe the innovation’s intended purpose and function.
To earn this point:
This score is based on the computational artifact. As needed, the written response (2b) can be used to provide additional information required to describe what the artifact illustrates but it IS NOT GRADED.
The name of the computing innovation needs to be explicitly stated either in the written response, computational artifact, OR in sound within the computational artifact.

17. Day 5—Halfway point of Explore PT
Continue research, responses & creating your artifact.
Be sure to cite anything used in artifact and clearly explain your artifact in 2b.
Quick Assessment of progress

18. Day 6—Purpose & Function (Prompt 2a)
Continue work on your written responses
Purpose-intended goal or objective of the innovation
Function-how the innovation works
To earn the point for 2a:
State a fact about the currently identified computing innovation’s intended purpose OR function.
Be sure your responses are clearly labeled

19. Day 7—References (Prompt 2e)
Provide a list of at least three online or print sources used to create your computational artifact and/or support your responses to the prompts
For each online source:
Include the URL, author, title, source, date you retrieved the source, and the date the source was written/posted.
Include in-line citations for the sources you used, and number each source accordingly.
Each source must be relevant, credible, and easily accessed.

20. Day 8—Submit all PTs
Today is the last day to work on the Create and Explore PT
Goal: submit all parts of the PTs by the end of class TODAY
Create:
Video (screen cast-o-matic)
Reflection Questions (PDF)
Program Code (PDF)
Explore:
Computational Artifact (PDF, video, audio, etc.)
Reflection Questions & Citations (PDF)
Check-in with Mr. Rogers to verify submissions
