What is an interpreter (programming)

This article explains what is an interpreter in computer programming.

** More to come **

Note that as this is a 2009 sample paper, the problem solving and programming sections, along with some of the theory, is more complex than it is in the current (2010) syllabus [so don't stress too much over it].

For queries, if multiple conditions are used, AND must be used in between  each condition (see: 8.9 (d)(i) ).

program looptest;

var
	counter: integer;

begin
	for counter := 1 to 100 do
		writeln(counter);
end.

A for loop follows this format:

For ← <start value> TO/DOWNTO <end value> Do
Begin
	...
	...
End

A FOR loop is a definite loop (we know how many times it must loop).

A FOR loop loops to or down to a given value.

Pascal concepts:

:= is used for assignment (the same as ← in pseudocode)
The final END statement has a . after it instead of the usual ;

I came here expecting to be taught about Web 2.0 and that’s what I got. Even though I am familiar with blogging, twitter, and the general Web 2.0 concepts, I got the chance  (and time) to actually try them out. I also got a lot of research links, which are always useful for teachers.

What shall happen to this blog? I’ll keep it going for any useful links I find about Web 2.0 and teaching — it was created for the workshop after all. Time will tell how it changes.

Firstly there’s a general primary school blog focused on topics applicable to all primary school grade levels. This post is particularly interesting. There’s more stuff to be found at Grand Bay Primary‘s blog of course.

Next, there’s Grand Bay Primary Kindergarten‘s blog. There are many posts, like this one, that focuses on Grade K topics.

*start of my opinion*

I’m not an expert on early childhood education but I can tell that these links will useful for teaching kids. They cover the basics, and that’s the hardest things to learn. None of us remember learning to talk, or walk, etc, and the reason is simple. It was so difficult that remembering that would drive us crazy! (or something like that — you get my drift). Without the basics (first step, basic reading, etc) no one would be able to do the advanced stuff (running, research, etc).

*end of my opinion*

So who’s next? hmm….

Saddly, I don’t have much time to update this blog often so it’s likely that this week will be my last week of blogging.

Tropical Isle

Farhwas

Christie

and Jen

Well what shall happen next week? Time alone will tell.

Will I continue updating this blog? hmm.. At least ’til the end of the class.

Enjoy the weekend y’all!

Ok so my next big-up is to Jen. She’s the facilitator for this workshop I’m a part of. I think the name of the workshop is IT for Dominica 2010, but the name doesn’t matter. What matters is what we learn – and learn we do!

I won’t cover what we have learned so far because it would take up too much space and time, but here’s an example of an interesting day at the workshop.

Of course the stuff below the IT for Dominica updates is useful too. I haven’t checked out everything as yet, but I’m definitely going to peruse this post about her 2009-2010 school year and check out as many of the links as time will allow.

Thanks Jen!

This is seriously a series now. Summary of the big-ups (big ups, up big-ings, etc?) coming this weekend!

Who shall I big-up next? Well I have to find the other bloggers first, of course…

Is this becoming a series? Do I HAVE to update this talkative blog thing?!?!?

hmm… Time will tell
