Objectives:
Students will be able to:
Create a prototype of a web design to meet the needs of a user using the problem-solving process
Identify features of a web design that match the needs of users
Understand the steps of the problem-solving process
Lesson:
In Web Development, students are put in the shoes of a web developer and empowered to design and create a web page to meet a user’s needs. As students develop the pages and begin to see themselves as web developers and designers, they are encouraged to think critically about the impact of sharing information online and how to be more critical consumers of content. They are also introduced to problem-solving related to programming while learning valuable skills such as debugging, using resources, and teamwork. At the conclusion of chapter one, students will design and create a web page for a user. After chapter two, students will have worked with a team to create a multi-page website they can publish and share.
