Standards
Remove background details from an everyday process to highlight essential properties. Examples: When making a sandwich, the type of bread, condiments, meats, and/or vegetables do not affect the fact that one is making a sandwich.
Generate resourceDescribe the causes and effects of illegal use of intellectual property as it relates to print and digital media, considering copyright, fair use, licensing, sharing, and attribution.
Generate resourceDifferentiate between appropriate and inappropriate digital content and the use of that content.
Generate resourceDiscuss digital globalization and Internet censorship. Examples: Software that scans a website for posts about potential threats; a person’s ability to order a product directly from a manufacturer in another part of the world; a student in Africa can take an online math course created in the United States; web-hosting company prevents posting of content.
Generate resourceCommunicate and/or publish collaboratively to inform others from a variety of backgrounds and cultures about issues and problems.
Generate resourceType 30 words per minute with 95% accuracy using appropriate keyboarding techniques.
Generate resourceTrack data change from a variety of sources. Example: Use editing or versioning tools to track changes to data.
Generate resourceDefine a process as a function. Example: Functions or sets of steps combined to produce a process: turning off your alarm + getting out of bed + brushing your teeth + getting dressed = morning routine.
Generate resourceIdentify data transferring protocols, visualization, and the purpose of data and methods of storage. Examples: Using an online collection tool or form to collect data that is then stored in a spreadsheet or database.
Generate resourceIdentify varying data structures/systems and methods of classification, including decimal and binary. Examples: Difference between a bit and a byte, bit representation, pixels.
Generate resourceSummarize the purpose of the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII).
Generate resourceDiscuss how digital devices may be used to collect, analyze, and present information.
Generate resourceCompare and contrast types of networks. Examples: Wired, wireless (WiFi), local, wide area, mobile, Internet, and intranet.
Generate resourceExplain why professionals may use models as logical representations of physical, mathematical, or logical systems or processes. Example: Students will discuss why an engineer may build a model of a building before actually constructing the building.
Generate resourceDefine artificial intelligence and identify examples of artificial intelligence in the community. Examples: Image recognition, voice assistants.
Generate resourceCreate pseudocode that uses conditionals. Examples: Using if/then/else (If it is raining then bring an umbrella else get wet).
Generate resourceDiscuss and apply the components of the problem-solving process. Example: Students will devise a plan to alleviate traffic congestion around the school during drop-off and pick-up.
Generate resourceDifferentiate between flowcharts and pseudocode. Example: Flowcharts use shapes to indicate what to do at each step while pseudocode uses text.
Generate resourceIdentify algorithms that make use of sequencing, selection or iteration. Examples: Sequencing is doing steps in order (put on socks, put on shoes, tie laces); selection uses a Boolean condition to determine which of two parts of an algorithm are used (hair is dirty? True, wash hair; false, do not); iteration is the repetition of part of an algorithm until a condition is met (if you’re happy and you know it clap your hands, when you’re no longer happy you stop clapping).
Generate resourceIdentify steps in developing solutions to complex problems using computational thinking.
Generate resourceDescribe how automation works to increase efficiency. Example: Compare the amount of time/work to hand wash a car vs. using an automated car wash.
Generate resourceCreate a program that initializes a variable. Example: Create a flowchart in which the variable or object returns to a starting position upon completion of a task.
Generate resourceDifferentiate between a secure and a non-secure website including how they affect personal data. Example: HTTP vs. HTTPS.
