Units

Unit Description
Digital Citizenship and Cyber Hygiene: Students learn topics on Internet etiquette and how to stay safe on the world wide web. Students will look at the potential effects of their digital footprints, how to protect information from online risks, and the importance of creative credit.
Programming With Karel: Students learn foundational skills in programming with Karel by simplifying JavaScript to four simple commands. Using these commands, students solve increasingly difficult problems and explore how complex programming languages can be developed from simple commands.
Karel Challenges: Students apply the foundational concepts from Karel to solve programming challenges.
Computing Basics: Students will learn about the physical elements of computers and networking such as motherboards, RAM, routers, and the use of port numbers, ethernet, and wireless devices.
Operating Systems and Software: Students will compare and contrast common operating systems (Windows, Linux, OS) and explain the importance of compatibility. Students will also explore software and apps while discussing software licenses and running through the software development life cycle.
Project: IT Professional: In this project, students explore career pathways and build skills that will be needed within these fields such as communication.
Web Design - HTML: Students learn about the language behind all websites: HTML. Students learn about several different HTML tags as well as the basic structure of a web page. Students use HTML to develop several of their own creative web pages.
Web Design - CSS: Students learn the language CSS and use it to style their web pages. Students learn about the benefits of styling with CSS and will use CSS to create several styled web pages of their own.
