Standards in this Framework
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| R1 | R1) Identify, demonstrate, and apply personal safe use of digital devices. |
| R2 | R2) Recognize and demonstrate age-appropriate responsible use of digital devices and resources as outlined in school/district rules. |
| R3 | R3) Assess the validity and identify the purpose of digital content. |
| R4 | R4) Identify and employ appropriate troubleshooting techniques used to solve computing or connectivity issues. |
| R5 | R5) Locate and curate information from digital sources to answer research questions. |
| R6 | R6) Produce, review, and revise authentic artifacts that include multimedia using appropriate digital tools. |
| 1 | Create a function to simplify a task. Example: Get a writing utensil, get paper, jot notes can collectively be named “note taking”. |
| 2 | Create complex pseudocode using conditionals and Boolean statements. Example: Automated vacuum pseudocode – drive forward until the unit encounters an obstacle; reverse 2"; rotate 30 degrees to the left, repeat. |
| 3 | Create algorithms that demonstrate sequencing, selection or iteration. Examples: Debit card transactions are approved until the account balance is insufficient to fund the transaction = iteration, do until. |
| 4 | Design a complex algorithm that contains sequencing, selection or iteration. Examples: Lunch line algorithm that contains parameters for bringing your lunch and multiple options available in the lunch line. |
| 5 | Solve a complex problem using computational thinking. |
| 6 | Create and organize algorithms in order to automate a process efficiently. Example: Set of recipes (algorithms) for preparing a complete meal. |
| 7 | Create a program that updates the value of a variable in the program. Examples: Update the value of score when a coin is collected (in a flowchart, pseudocode or program). |
| 8 | Formulate a narrative for each step of a process and its intended result, given pseudocode or code. |
| 9 | Identify common methods of securing data. Examples: Permissions, encryption, vault, locked closet. |
| 10 | Explain social engineering, including countermeasures, and its impact on a digital society. Examples: Phishing, hoaxes, impersonation, baiting, spoofing. |
| 11 | Demonstrate positive, safe, legal, and ethical habits when creating and sharing digital content and identify the consequences of failing to act responsibly. |
| 12 | Discuss the impact of data permanence on digital identity including best practices to protect personal digital footprint. |
| 13 | Compare and contrast information available locally and globally. Example: Review an article published in the United States and compare to an article on the same subject published in China. |
| 14 | Discuss current events related to emerging technologies in computing and the effects such events have on individuals and the global society. |
| 15 | Discuss unique perspectives and needs of a global culture when developing computational artifacts, including options for accessibility for all users. Example: Would students create a webpage aimed at reaching a village of users that have no way access to the Internet? |
| 16 | Construct content designed for specific audiences through an appropriate medium. Examples: Design a multi-media children’s e-book with an appropriate readability level. |
| 17 | Publish content to be available for external feedback. |
| 18 | Type 35 words per minute with 95% accuracy using appropriate keyboarding techniques. |
| 19 | Discuss the benefits and limitations of censorship. |
| 20 | Evaluate the validity and accuracy of a data set. |
| 21 | Compare common transfer protocols. Examples: FTP, HTTP |
| 22 | Compare data storage structures. Examples: Stack, array, queue, table, database. |
| 23 | Demonstrate the use of a variety of digital devices individually and collaboratively to collect, analyze, and present information for content-related problems. |
| 24 | Diagram a network given a specific setup or need. Examples: Home network, public network, business network. |
| 25 | List common methods of system cybersecurity. Examples: Various password requirements, two-factor authentication, biometric, geolocation. |
| 26 | Categorize models based on the most appropriate representation of various systems. |
| 27 | Identify data needed to create a model or simulation of a given event. Examples: When creating a random name generator, the program needs access to a list of possible names. |
| 28 | Classify types of assistive technologies. Examples: Hardware, software, stylus, sticky keys. |
| 29 | Compare and contrast human intelligence and artificial intelligence. |
| 30 | Apply the problem-solving process to solve real-world problems. |
