COMPUTATIONAL THINKING (CT)

Recognize that software is required to control all computing devices (e.g. programs, browsers, websites, apps).

Use digital tools to create original artifacts.

Classify and sort information into useful order without using a computer (e.g. sorting objects by various attributes).

Demonstrate that computing devices save information as data that can be stored, searched, retrieved, modified, and deleted.

Recognize performance feedback from digital tools, make adjustments based on that feedback and use age-appropriate technology to share learning.

Analyze age-appropriate data and look for similarities in order to identify patterns and categories.

Identify a problem and select appropriate technology tools to explore and find solutions.

Share ideas in multiple ways using digital tools.

Select technology to share ideas with different people.

Select tools to broaden perspectives and enrich learning by collaborating with others and working effectively in teams locally and globally.

Use a design process to develop ideas or creations, and they test their design and redesign if necessary.

Construct and test problem solutions using a block-based and/or visual programming.

Construct an algorithm to accomplish a task.

Follow the sequencing in an algorithm.

Break a problem into parts and identify ways to solve the problem.

Use a design process to ask questions, suggest solutions, test ideas to solve problems and redesign as needed.

Use age-appropriate digital and nondigital tools to design something and are aware of the step-by-step process of designing.

Understand how technology is used to make a task easier or repeatable and can identify real-world examples.

Navigate a variety of technologies that will help them in their learning and begin to demonstrate an understanding of how knowledge can be transferred between tools.

Understand that a wide range of jobs require knowledge or use of computing.

Demonstrate an understanding that technology is all around them and the importance of keeping their information private.

Practice responsible digital citizenship and decision making using positive, safe, legal and honest behaviors in the use of technology systems and software.

Demonstrate an understanding of the role an online identity plays in the digital world and learn the permanence of their decisions when interacting online.

Locate and identify computing, input, and output devices in a variety of environments.

Demonstrate how to operate a variety of computing devices by turning on, navigating, opening/closing programs or apps as appropriate.

Identify, using accurate terminology, simple hardware and software problems.

Understand and apply resources to construct knowledge, produce creative artifacts and make connections to their learning.

Use technology to communicate with others and to look at problems from different perspectives.

Create a design document to illustrate thoughts, ideas, and stories in a sequential manner (e.g., storyboard, mind map).

Choose different tools for creating something new for communicating with others.

Explain that networks link people using computers and other computing devices allowing them to communicate, access, and share information.
