Digital Tools [K-2.DTC.a]
1. Operate a variety of digital tools (e.g., open/close, find, save/print, navigate, use input/output devices).
2. Identify, locate, and use letters, numbers, and special keys on a keyboard (e.g., Space Bar, Shift, Delete).
3. Create a simple digital artifact.
4. Use appropriate digital tools individually and collaboratively to create, review, and revise simple artifacts that include text, images and audio.
Collaboration and Communication [K-2.DTC.b]
1. Collaboratively use digital tools and media resources to communicate key ideas and details in a way that informs, persuades, and/or entertains.
2. Use a variety of digital tools to exchange information and feedback with teachers.
3. Use a variety of digital tools to present information to others.
Research [K-2.DTC.c]
1. Conduct basic keyword searches to gather information from teacher-provided digital sources (e.g., online library catalog, databases).
2. Create an artifact individually and collaboratively that answers a research question, while clearly expressing thoughts and ideas.
3. Acknowledge and name sources of information or media (e.g., title of book, author of book, website).
Abstraction [K-2.CT.a]
1. List the attributes of a common object, for example, cars have a color, type (e.g., pickup, van, sedan), number of seats, etc.
Algorithms [K-2.CT.b]
1. Define an algorithm as a sequence of defined steps.
2. Create a simple algorithm, individually and collaboratively, without using computers to complete a task (e.g., making a sandwich, getting ready for school, checking a book out of the library).
3. Enact an algorithm using tangible materials (e.g., manipulatives, your body) or present the algorithm in a visual medium (e.g., storyboard).
Data [K-2.CT.c ]
1. Identify different kinds of information (e.g., text, charts, graphs, numbers, pictures, audio, video, collections of objects.)
2. Identify, research, and collect information on a topic, issue, problem, or question using age- appropriate digital technologies.
3. Individually and collaboratively, propose a solution to a problem or question based on an analysis of information.
4. Individually and collaboratively, create information visualizations (e.g., charts, infographics).
5. Explain that computers can save information as data that can be stored, searched, retrieved, and deleted.
Programming and Development [K-2.CT.d]
1. Define a computer program as a set of commands created by people to do something.
2. Explain that computers only follow the program’s instructions.
3.Individually or collaboratively, create a simple program using visual instructions or tools that do not require a textual programming language (e.g., “unplugged” programming activities, a block- based programming language).
Modeling and Simulation [K-2.CT.e]
1. Describe how models represent a real-life system (e.g., globe, map, solar system, digital elevation model, weather map).
2. Define simulation and identify the concepts illustrated by a simple simulation (e.g., growth and health, butterfly life cycle).
