Object Methods, Intro to JS: Drawing & Animation, Computer Programming

When you introduce objects and object-oriented programming to your coding students, you are starting them on an important path. This introductory video shows how to replace the use of many variables with the use of a single object...

Expand your beginning coder's use of objects in programs by looking at examples where you can change code to define and use objects in arrays and pass objects as parameters to a function. All of this leads to a deeper understanding of...

Similar to using variables, object properties can be changed in the program. However, you can also dynamically add new properties while the program runs. The video shows how to define an object, use an object property, change an object...

This video explains the difference between local and global variables in JavaScript programming without getting into the nitty gritty of variable lifetimes. Using a small coding example with a function defined, the author shows how a...

Creating interactive programs can be very exciting for new computer programmers. The author shows how to use mouseIsPressed within a conditional statement to create a small JavaScript program that responds to the user's mouse press.

Young coders learn how to use a function to create objects with similar properties and to allow for the creation of objects repeatedly with a short video that makes the point that coding with a function eliminates repetitions.

Learners engage in a research activity in order to comprehend the intents and dynamics of Object Oriented Programming. They are exposed to the new paradigm of programming in order to develop new skills.

Draw a rainbow over the rainbow. The second segment in a series of six has the class practice using functions to edit a program that draws a rainbow. After creating the function, the interactive lesson challenges pupils to create another...

Anyone hungry? Create a recipe object in this coding activity. Include a title, number of servings, and ingredients. All of this adds up to one delicious practice opportunity for your programming students who are just learning how to use...

Start your own virtual library with this JavaScript programming project. Create arrays of book objects, and fill the shelves with different books, different colors, titles, authors, etc. Let coders create their own unique display.
