Computational Thinking

Making Information Available to World with HTML and Web

Pages

Desktop Publishing with MS Word

Presentation of Information with MS PowerPoint

Data Analysis and Visualization with MS Excel

Visual Programming with Alice

Dynamic Webpage Programming with

JavaScript

Information Technology has helped with certain computer applications and principles to build new understanding on basic web programming and thinking.

Uses for:- Solving Problems- Designing Systems- Powers and limits of human and machine intelligence- HTML, Java Script

Produced a PowerPoint to display data

Alice is designed solely to teach programming theory without the complex semantics of production languages such as C++.

Users can place objects from Alice's gallery into the virtual world that they have imagined, and then they can program by dragging and dropping tiles that represent logical structures.

Additionally, the user can manipulate Alice's camera and lighting to make further enhancements. Alice can be used for 3D user

interfaces.

Was able to create an interactive

webpage for users using JavaScript
