Web Technologies are intrinsic to our lives and core to our students’ future careers.
This media-rich course provides your learners an engaging project-based learning experience in the breadth of Web Technologies. Web technologies are more than just web pages, and this course gives the learner hands-on experience creating, coding, engaging in an expansive view of the trends and technologies driving the web today.
This course supports exploration in careers related to the design, development, support, and management of hardware, software, multimedia, and systems integration services. Students will acquire knowledge and skills enabling them to succeed in a technology-driven society and career pathway. Learners apply reading, writing, computing, communication, and critical thinking throughout this project-based learning experience.
Web technologists are concerned with how computers communicate over the web, how systems connect to and interact with the web and how the most common languages of the internet (HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript) work to allow information to be shared worldwide.
Learners and teachers do not need any previous coding or design experience for this course.
Along the way they will learn critical thinking skills, apply STEM, develop confidence, and build a college and career ready portfolio that will help them take their next steps to their future.
