Special activity- Canva

 CLASS OBJECTIVE

Create an Instagram post for the School of Rock Musical event using Canva web service.


CANVA.COM (http://canva.com)

Elements that will be requested for the design of the Instagram post in Canva

Do not use templates, each publication must be original.

Each student will make a design for Social Network posting, specifically Instagram (due to its size 1080x1350 and preference for use in the educational community)

  • Post Name: Registration + Full Name
  • Change of background, solid or gradient.
  • Upload the IdeC shield
  • Insert at least a couple of elements directly related to the musical (School of Rock), such as Shapes or Frames or images from different categories. They can also upload photos, if you already have them.

Informative texts:

  • Title of the musical (School of Rock)
  • Date and time of the event (Mayo 22 y 23 del 2026. Horarios 4:00 y 8:00 p.m.)
  • Where to buy tickets (Online platform pending)
  • Teatro Diana (Av. 16 de Septiembre 710, Guadalajara, Jal.)

Week 25 - Selections and loops practice

CLASS OBJECTIVE

Reinforce the use of the SI ENTONCES and the REPETIR commands by creating algorithms by yourself, just knowing the final result of the program.


INTRODUCTION

Last class you learned the use of SI ENTONCES to create multiple paths in an algorithm. By the analysis of  variables content the procedure can change and produce different outcomes.

Today you'll create by your self a program to analyze a word's length, obviously using SI ENTONCES, and after this you'll adapt the program to be repeated until the user chooses to exit.

Remember, you won't get any help from your teacher.



ACTIVITY 1

Remember, the activity's purpose is that you create the algorithm all by yourself so, you'll receive a just a couple of guidelines.

  1. Name the algorithm LONGITUD_DE_TEXTO
  2. Declare 1 variable to save a word
  3. Ask the user for a word (or phrase) to save it into the variable
  4. Tell the user if the word's length has more than 15 characters (tip: you'll also have to use LONGITUD() function)
    • Otherwise, tell the user the word is smaller than 15 characters.
Look at the examples:




ACTIVITY 2

Now you have to add a loop to your first algorithm to repeat over and over until the user decides to finish it.

  1. Declare another variable to save a text
  2. You'll have to add the REPETIR/HASTA QUE command to wrap the last procedure.
  3. Inside the loop you'll have to ask the user if he wants to "try with another word", receive his answer and save it to the new variable.
  4. The algorithm will continue until the user types some letter different to the "s" letter.

Look at the examples:


If you need one last resource to finish your algorithm, look at the next flowchart:





CLASS NOTES

Write down in your notebook the title of the class, the objective and follow the instruction.

  1. What kind of data type you choose to save the user's incoming words? why?
  2. What does the LONGITUD() function do?
  3. Nested IF is a programing resource to add more answers to a SI-ENTONCES instruction,  Would it be possible to create a Nested IF in PSeInt? How?
  4. How did you indicate the "different to" comparison symbol?

Show your answers to your teacher.

Week 24 - Combined Loops and selections

 CLASS OBJECTIVE

Relate PseInt Loops and Selections, from the last class, into some new proyects where we can combine the use of both resources


ACTIVITY 1

Last class we created two algorithms, the fist using "Selections" and the second using a "Loop". Today we'll start with a combined algorithm.

Open PseInt and type the next algorithm. Save the file using the same algorithm's name, into the "Documentos" folder.








Execute the algorithm, test it and personalize it, try to understand it deeply. After this, you'll add comments in every code line explaing what does it do. To do this, use the double slash simbol.

Watch the example in the image below.


Save your file once again and up load it to Classroom.



ACTIVITY 2

Now, this is your turn to create an algorith completely by yourself, in this case, a simple game. Use the paramethers listed below.

  • Use the name Guess_number for the algorithm and the file.
  • User will have only 4 tries. After the fourth, the program ends.
  • The hidden number must be in between 1 and 10 (including them)
  • Look at the last algorithm and make the necessary adjustments.

Upload the file to the same Week 24 post in Classroom.



CLASS NOTES

As always, start writting the class title and objective

  •     Just draw the game flowchart in your notebook

Week 23 - Selections and Loops using PSeInt

 CLASS OBJECTIVE

Create in PSeInt an algorithm that uses selections and loops (programming structures) by analyzing a flow chart that describes every step of process.


INTRODUCTION

Any programming language must have the selections and loops programming structures because ane procedure has to make decisions or to repeat procedures. Obviously PSeInt has this two resources among others. The name of this two command are: SI-ENTONCES and  REPETIR


 




SI-ENTONCES
I'm sure it'll be difficult to understand the "written" version of this commands, but I'm sure you'll get use to it. Look at the SI-ENTONCES examples:

In the flowchart it looks like:


Indentation 
As you can see, it's not as difficult as it looked. To keep it simple you must always use the indentation to show the inner step of the procedure on the right.



ACTIVITY 1
Now open PseInt and type the next algorithm. What does it do?





REPETIR

REPETIR is a command to create a loop, in other words, the repetition of a list of actions. In the next example, a message will be shown over and over until the variable div decreases until cero.


Now in a flowchart look:

Never forget to use the indentation to identify the procedures in the selections or in the loops structures.




ACTIVITY 2
Now open PseInt once again and type the next algorithm. What does it do? Have you done something like this before?


Upload the two files (SI_ENTONCES y REPETIR_HASTA QUE) to the Classroom post.



CLASS NOTES

Write down in your notebook the title of this class and the objective. Using Raptor symbols, draw the next flow charts.

  • Draw the flow chart for the Activity 1
  • Draw the flow chart for the Activity 2

Show your answers to your teacher.
