What's included
10 live meetings
9 hrs 10 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Students will be given small assignments within the class which are usually finished during the class. The most effective way for the majority of students to learn how to program is by practicing. Most of class time is spent by students typing their own code, with the teacher checking work and troubleshooting errors with students.Class Experience
Beginner Level
Web Site Design Using html and css Summer Camp (Middle School Age) is a course for middle school aged students to learn the basics of web design. In addition to video chat and screen sharing, we will be using repl.it as a coding platform. I use repl.it in my physical classrooms as well. It provides a 100% online code editor with real-time feedback. Students can immediately run their code to see what the web site looks like. repl.it also provides the teacher the ability to assign classwork and share code with others in real time. Each student will be required to create a free account on repl.it and join my classroom for access to class material. I will walk students through this process during the first session. This camp covers all 3 units of my normal html/css course. This camp runs daily Monday-Friday for 2 weeks. This camp covers the following topics: intro to repl.it, html text, html internal and external links, html images, creative commons and copyright, html lists and tables, css stylesheets, classes and ids, iframes, div and span, box model, psuedoclasses, visibility, image manipulation, filters, storyboards A typical session involves several mini-lessons. I will share my screen in order to show students a new topic. Afterwards students will attempt to use the newly learned topic on their own repl.it screen with guidance from me when needed. Once all students have mastered a topic the class will move on to the next mini-lesson. If all students master every topic for the session we will move on to topics from the next session. If we reach the final session with extra time I will introduce some extended topics or topics the students request.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students are expected to create a free account at repl.it in order to take this course. Repl.it is student friendly. I use this resource in my physical classrooms as well. This does mean your student has access to code written by others, and any posts made by those users. You may read more at repl.it if you need more information. I will walk students through this process during the first session.
