Web Design

K12 CS Framework Aligned

CodeHS

CodeHS is a comprehensive teaching platform for helping schools teach computer science including K-12 curriculum, IDE, coding LMS, and more!

The CodeHS Web Design course is a project-based course that teaches students how to build their own web pages. Students will learn the languages HTML and CSS, and will create their own live homepages to serve as portfolios of their creations. By the end of this course, students will be able to explain how web pages are developed and viewed on the Internet, analyze and fix errors in existing websites, and create their very own multipage websites.

K12 CS Framework Components

What is this?
Grade Band:
6-8
Concept:
Computing Systems
Sub-Concept:
Devices
Statements:
The interaction between humans and computing devices presents advantages, disadvantages, and unintended consequences. The study of human–computer interaction can improve the design of devices and extend the abilities of humans.
Grade Band:
6-8
Concept:
Networks and Internet
Sub-Concept:
Network Communications
Statements:
Computers send and receive information based on a set of rules called protocols. Protocols define how messages between computers are structured and sent. Considerations of security, speed, and reliability are used to determine the best path to send and receive data.
Grade Band:
6-8
Concept:
Networks and Internet
Sub-Concept:
Cybersecurity
Statements:
The information sent and received across networks can be protected from unauthorized access and modification in a variety of ways, such as encryption to maintain its confidentiality and restricted access to maintain its integrity. Security measures to safeguard online information proactively address the threat of breaches to personal and private data.
Grade Band:
6-8
Concept:
Algorithms and Programming
Sub-Concept:
Program Development
Statements:
People design meaningful solutions for others by defining a problem’s criteria and constraints, carefully considering the diverse needs and wants of the community, and testing whether criteria and constraints were met.
Grade Band:
6-8
Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Sub-Concept:
Culture
Statements:
Advancements in computing technology change people’s everyday activities. Society is faced with tradeoffs due to the increasing globalization and automation that computing brings.
Grade Band:
6-8
Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Sub-Concept:
Social Interactions
Statements:
People can organize and engage around issues and topics of interest through various communication platforms enabled by computing, such as social networks and media outlets. These interactions allow issues to be examined using multiple viewpoints from a diverse audience.
Grade Band:
6-8
Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Sub-Concept:
Safety, Law, and Ethics
Statements:
There are tradeoffs between allowing information to be public and keeping information private and secure. People can be tricked into revealing personal information when more public information is available about them online.
Grade Band:
9-12
Concept:
Networks and Internet
Sub-Concept:
Network Communications
Statements:
Network topology is determined, in part, by how many devices can be supported. Each device is assigned an address that uniquely identifies it on the network. The scalability and reliability of the Internet are enabled by the hierarchy and redundancy in networks.
Grade Band:
9-12
Concept:
Networks and Internet
Sub-Concept:
Cybersecurity
Statements:
Network security depends on a combination of hardware, software, and practices that control access to data and systems. The needs of users and the sensitivity of data determine the level of security implemented.
Grade Band:
9-12
Concept:
Algorithms and Programming
Sub-Concept:
Program Development
Statements:
Diverse teams can develop programs with a broad impact through careful review and by drawing on the strengths of members in different roles. Design decisions often involve tradeoffs. The development of complex programs is aided by resources such as libraries and tools to edit and manage parts of the program. Systematic analysis is critical for identifying the effects of lingering bugs.
Grade Band:
9-12
Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Sub-Concept:
Culture
Statements:
The design and use of computing technologies and artifacts can improve, worsen, or maintain inequitable access to information and opportunities.
Grade Band:
9-12
Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Sub-Concept:
Social Interactions
Statements:
Many aspects of society, especially careers, have been affected by the degree of communication afforded by computing. The increased connectivity between people in different cultures and in different career fields has changed the nature and content of many careers.
Grade Band:
9-12
Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Sub-Concept:
Safety, Law, and Ethics
Statements:
Laws govern many aspects of computing, such as privacy, data, property, information, and identity. These laws can have beneficial and harmful effects, such as expediting or delaying advancements in computing and protecting or infringing upon people’s rights. International differences in laws and ethics have implications for computing.
