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.
