Teachers who provide instruction in Webpage design and development may be interested in a new program CIW (Certified Internet Web Professional) has just released that is focused on teaching the essentials to creating modern Web pages and applications using HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. These technologies, sometimes called the “Web development trifecta,” can be combined to create modern Web pages and applications that easily adapt to display on smartphones, tablets, gaming devices, smart TVs and traditional desktop computers. While Web page design and development instruction is fundamental, it is increasingly essential to design in ways that allow the information on the Web page to display responsively to mobile and other platforms.

The CIW Advanced HTML5 and CSS3 Specialist course builds upon students’ manual-coding skills to develop Web documents using new elements, attributes and selectors introduced in Hypertext Markup Language version 5 (HTML5) and Cascading Style Sheets version 3 (CSS3). Students will create Web pages using the HTML5 structure tags, embed video and audio, and develop cross-browser user-input forms. Students will use CSS3 to position and format content, and to create effects such as transformations, transitions and animation. 

To learn more about this program, you may register for a live webinar that is being held at 8:00 a.m. on May 14, 2014.
