This class is to teach the foundations of web design. One objective is to teach html, css and javascript. The other is to ask studnets to think critically about what constitutes good design. When internet access? Why is Ms. Bennett making you create it?

Unit 1

In this unit, we covered three main topics. Those topics were "What is Web Design?", Web Accessibility, and Color Theory. By looking at some of the ugliest websites we could find, we narrowed down what makes a good website. Some criteria we could all agree on were clean margins, minimal language, and logical graphics. Students also learned about hexadecimals and how strings of 6 characters are representative of different colors transmitted by pixel based screens. Everyone worked in teams to lay out a fictitious school website and learned about structuring a many-paged website. Finally, we discussed the limitations encountered by people with various disabilities as they experience websites and considerations web designers should take into account so that site content is accessible to all people.
