STANDARD 8.1 (COMPUTER AND INFORMATION LITERACY ) ALL STUDENTS WILL USE COMPUTER APPLICATIONS TO GATHER AND ORGANIZE INFORMATION AND TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.
Descriptive Statement: Using computer applications and technology tools students will conduct research, solve problems, improve learning, achieve goals, and produce products and presentations in conjunction with standards in all content areas, including career education and consumer family, and life skills. They will also develop, locate, summarize, organize, synthesize, and evaluate information for lifelong learning.
Cumulative Progress Indicators
By the end of Grade 4, students will:
A. Basic Computer Skills and Tools 1. Use basic technology vocabulary. 3. Input and access text and data, using appropriate keyboarding techniques or other input devices. 4. Produce a simple finished document using word processing software. 6. Create and present a multimedia presentation using appropriate software. 7. Create and maintain files and folders. B. Application of Productivity Tools Social Aspects 1. Discuss the common uses of computer applications and identify their advantages and disadvantages. 2. Recognize and practice responsible social and ethical behaviors when using technology, and understand the consequences of inappropriate use including: · Personal security and safety issues 3. Practice appropriate Internet etiquette. 4. Recognize the ethical and legal implications of plagiarism of copyrighted materials. Information Access and Research 5. Recognize the need for accessing and using information. 7. Locate specific information by searching a database. 8. Recognize accuracy and/or bias of information.
Problem Solving and Decision Making 9. Solve problems individually and/or collaboratively using computer applications. 10. Identify basic hardware problems and solve simple problems.
STANDARD 8.2 (TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION) ALL STUDENTS WILL DEVELOP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE AND IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGICAL DESIGN, AND THE DESIGNED WORLD AS THEY RELATE TO THE INDIVIDUAL, SOCIETY, AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
Descriptive Statement: The following indicators are based on the Standards for Technological Literacy (STL, 2000) and support the National Academy of Engineering’s (2002) call for students to gain technological literacy. Students will be expected to understand the various facets of technology and the design process. They will analyze and evaluate design options and then apply the design process to solve problems. A systems perspective is employed to emphasize the interconnectedness of all knowledge and the impact of technology and technological change. Students will be expected to use technology as it applies to physical systems, biological systems, and information and communication systems. The intent at the elementary and middle school levels is that all students develop technological literacy and are prepared for the option of further study in the field of technology education. At the elementary level, the foundation for technology education is found in the science standards, particularly standards 5.2 and 5.4.
Cumulative Progress Indicators
By the end of Grade 4, students will:
A. Nature and Impact of Technology Refer to Science Standards 5.2 and 5.4.
B. Design Process and Impact Assessment Refer to Science Standards 5.2 and 5.4.
C. Systems in the Designed World Refer to Science Standards 5.2 and 5.4
