Learning objectives:

To review an existing website and consider its structure

• I can explore a website

• I can discuss the different types of media used on websites

• I know that websites are written in HTML

In this lesson students will explore and review existing websites and evaluate their content. They will have some understanding that websites are created using HTML code. 

In this lesson, year 6 will take on the role of a web designer, focusing on the initial design stage of creating a website. Year 6 will look at the different layout features available in Google Sites and plan their own web page on paper. 

Learning objectives

To plan the features of a web page

• I can recognise the common features of a web page

• I can suggest media to include on my page

• I can draw a web page layout that suits my purpose

During this lesson, Year 6 will become familiar with the terms ‘fair use’ and ‘copyright’. They will gain an understanding of why they should only use copyright-free images and will find appropriate images to use in their work from suggested sources. 

Learning objectives

To consider the ownership and use of images (copyright)

●        I can say why I should use copyright-free images

●        I can find copyright-free images

●        I can describe what is meant by the term ‘fair use’

●        I know how to use technology respectfully and responsibly

Today Year 6 will revise how to create their own web page in Google Sites. Using their plan from previous lessons, they will create their own web page/ home page. They will preview their web page as it appears on different devices and suggest or make edits to improve the appearance of the page across the devices.

Learning objectives

To recognise the need to preview pages

●        I can add content to my own web page

●        I can preview what my web page looks like

●        I can evaluate what my web page looks like on different devices and suggest/make edits

Learning objectives

To outline the need for a navigation path

• I can explain what a navigation path is

• I can describe why navigation paths are useful

• I can make multiple web pages and link them using hyperlinks

During this lesson year 6 began to appreciate the need to plan the structure of a website carefully. They planned their website, paying attention to the navigation paths (the way that pages are linked together). They  then created multiple web pages for their site and use hyperlinks to link them together as detailed in their planning. 

Lesson 6: Think before you link!

Introduction

Children will consider the implications of linking to content owned by other people and create hyperlinks on their own websites to link to other people’s work. They will then evaluate the user experience when using their own website and that of another learner.

Learning objectives

To recognise the implications of linking to content owned by other people

●        I can explain the implication of linking to content owned by others

●        I can create hyperlinks to link to other people's work

●        I can evaluate the user experience of a website
