Students will take an active role in choosing, achieving , and demonstrating competency. They will set personal learning goals, develop strategies using technology to achieve them and reflect on the process of learning to improve outcomes. They will build networks and customize their learning environment. Finally, they will understand the fundamental concepts of technology operations, show the ability to choose, use, and troubleshoot technologies and transfer knowledge to explore new technology.
Students will recognize the rights, responsibilities, and opportunities of living, learning and working in a digital world, and they will act in ways that are safe, legal, and ethical. They will cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world. They will engage in a positive, safe, legal, and ethical behavior when using technology, including social interactions online or when using networked devices.
Students will curate a variety of resources using digital tools to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts, and make meaningful learning experiences for themselves and others. They will Plan and employ different research strategies to locate information and other resources for creative pursuits. Evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility, and relevance of information, media, data, or others. Build knowledge by actively exploring real-world issues and problems, developing ideas, theories, and pursuing answers and solutions.
Students will use a variety of technologies within a design process to identify and solve problems by creating new, useful solutions. They will know and use a deliberate design process for making new ideas, testing theories, creating innovative artifacts, and solving authentic problems. They will choose and use digital tools to plan and manage a design process that considers design constraints and calculated risks. They will develop, test, and refine prototypes as part of a design process.
Students will develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of technological methods to develop and test solutions. They will formulate problem definitions suited for technology-assisted methods such as data analysis, abstract models and algorithmic thinking in exploring and finding solutions. They will collect data or identify relevant data sets, use digital tools to analyze them, and represent data in various ways to facilitate problem-solving and decision-making. Finally, they will break problems into component parts, extract key information, and develop descriptive models to understand complex systems or facilitate problem-solving.
Students will communicate clearly and express themselves creatively for a variety of purposes using the platforms, tools, formats, and digital media appropriate to their goals. They will choose the appropriate platforms and tools for meeting the desired objectives of their creation or communication. They will creative original works of responsibly repurpose or remix digital resources into new creations. They will communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of digital objects such as visualizations, models, or simulations.
Students use digital tools to broaden their perspectives end enrich their learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally. They will use digital tools to connect with learners from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, engaging with them in ways that broaden mutual understanding and learning. They will use collaborative technologies to work with others, including peers, experts, or community members, to examine issues and problems from multiple viewpoints. Finally, they will contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.
