Homework
Blog Post: Every project should have a post. If you made 3 projects, then there are 3 posts. Have images for what you did. Link to the github.io website online so people can see each program.
Blog Post: Write about programming languages. How do computers understand instructions? What language do they use? What language do we use to give computers instructions? Explain what are high and low level languages and how computers can understand our code (talk about compilers).
Improve your past work: Double check your work, and make sure your blog is complete. Make sure you have completed all projects. Finish anything you didn't get to do today. Improve anything that you can! Lots of pictures!!!
