Students learn topics on Internet etiquette, how to stay safe on the web, potential effects of digital footprints, how to protect their information, and the implications of cyberbullying.
Karel helps teach foundational skills in programming 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.
Students take all the foundational concepts from Karel to solve programming challenges.
Students explore the structure and design of the internet, and how this design affects the reliability of network communication, the security of data, and personal privacy.
Students learn the basics of JavaScript, including variables, user input, mathematics, and basic graphics.
Students learn how to pair program while tackling more challenging tasks with JavaScript graphics.
Students learn how to use control structures such as if/else statements and loops to make more advanced programs in JavaScript.
Students take all the foundational concepts from the Control Structures unit to solve some programming challenges.
Students learn to write reusable code with functions and parameters.
Students learn the theory and practice of user interface design. With rapid prototyping and user testing, they design and develop their own engaging web pages.
This module introduces students to potential career paths in the field of computer science.

JavaScript. Students start with Karel, which reduces JavaScript to a few commands, then work through graphics, control structures, and functions, events and lists.
No. The course opens with Karel before any JavaScript syntax, and each unit has its own challenge set for students who move at different speeds.
Those two are the middle school sequence at 8th grade, 90 hours each, split between Python programming and web design. This is the high school course: a full year at 140 hours in JavaScript, covering the whole CSTA framework on its own.
Networks and the internet, digital citizenship and cyber hygiene, and computer science careers, closing with a final project.
Yes. Extra Karel practice and puzzles, functions and parameters practice, extended user interaction for animation and games, extended array concepts and extended data structures all sit alongside the core sequence.
About 140 contact hours, built to run across a full school year.
