Terminology and Concepts

➜ 11 Demonstrate an understanding of basic web terminology and concepts. Practice explaining these terminologies and concepts by creating methods to help students learn and remember the information. For example, students should be able to explain the purpose of terminology such as server, domain name system (DNS) , internet service provider (ISP), hardware and software connective devices, cloud computing, remote access protocols, map protocols, content management systems (CMS), cascading style sheets (CSS), and social networking terms.

➜ 12 Demonstrate a basic understanding of computer hardware components. Identify these components using pictures or actual models and briefly explain the function of each. Components should include, but are not limited to:
a. Hardware used for input and output
b. Hardware inside the computer case
c. Motherboard
d. Processor and the chipset
e. Storage devices (e.g., primary, secondary)
f. Expansion cards
g. Electrical system


➜ 13 Demonstrate a basic understanding of computer networking. For example, explain the types of networks and what a client-server environment is.

Keyboard Shortcuts

➜ 14 Identify, explain, and demonstrate the use of common keyboard shortcuts. Create a quick reference guide that would be user-friendly for a novice web designer. For example, students may create a multiple column table showing keyboard shortcuts for navigation, text editing, and text formatting. The table would identify which shortcuts are applicable to using Windows versus Mac OS.
