Data & Information

  • DI.

    Students collect, store, visualize, and transform data to make inferences and predictions about the world.K-2.DI

    1. 1.

      Identify and collect data using digital tools (e.g., take pictures of all blue items, create a document with things that start with "a").K-2.DI.1

    2. 2.

      Define stored information as data and when appropriate, copy, search, retrieve, modify, and delete it.K-2.DI.2

    3. 3.

      Model that data can be stored and manipulated using numbers or symbols to represent information.K-2.DI.3

    4. 4.

      Organize and present data in different visual formats such as charts, graphs, and symbols, and identify and describe patterns to make predictions.K-2.DI.4

Computing Devices & Systems

  • CD.

    Students identify a computing system as being composed of hardware and software, troubleshooting common problems and generating solutions based on the needs of the user.K-2.CD

    1. 1.

      Use appropriate terminology in identifying and describing computer hardware.K-2.CD.1

    2. 2.

      Describe and troubleshoot basic hardware and software problems using appropriate terminology.K-2.CD.2

    3. 3.

      Select and operate appropriate software to perform a variety of tasks and recognize that users have different needs and preferences for the technology they use.K-2.CD.3

Programs & Algorithms

  • PA.

    Students model complex tasks using algorithmic problem solving and develop simple computing programs to represent them.K-2.PA

    1. 1.

      Breakdown and plan the order of the steps needed for a desired outcome to accomplish the goalK-2.PA.1

    2. 2.

      Using age-appropriate vocabulary, explain steps taken and choices made to improve the design of a sequence.K-2.PA.2

    3. 3.

      Develop programs with sequences and simple loops to express ideas or address a problem.K-2.PA.3

    4. 4.

      Identify and fix (debug) errors in sequences and simple loops.K-2.PA.4

    5. 5.

      Model daily processes by creating and following algorithms (i.e., sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks.K-2.PA.5

    6. 6.

      Give attribution when using the ideas and creations of others while developing programs.K-2.PA.6

Networking & the Internet

  • NI.

    Students explain that information shared over connected computer networks must be protected from unauthorized access.K-2.NI

    1. 1.

      Explain what passwords are, why they are used, and why it is important to develop strong passwords to protect devices and information.K-2.NI.1

Impact & Culture

  • IC.

    Students explain how computing affects the way people live, work, and communicate.K-2.IC
