Are you ready to design your own website?
Everything you see in a website is a result of the combination of HTML and CSS and PHP. With these tools, kids will learn the skills needed to bring a website to life. Children will learn the basics of HTML and CSS and PHP and apply them in order to create their own web pages. Children should be familiar with basic programming concepts and the use of an Internet browser. We will be using the REPL.IT website to build our websites and each child will be enrolled for a complementary account. We will also explore web resource best practices, sourcing content, and protecting our identities. By the end of this course kids will have their own, live, personal hosted website and the skills to use web page building to prepare school reports and presentations. Note that younger kids with exceptional proficiency and interest are accepted, extra challenges for older kids will be customized.
Differentiation: Younger children with exceptional skills and interest will be accepted, additional challenges for older children will be adapted.
HTML Lab Part 2: This course is a continuation of the semester HTML Lab and students will be exposed to new topics and further enhance their web design skills. Previous HTML experience is not necessary to join HTML Part 2.
