Context:
This artifact is a link to the Computer/Technology Skills Curriculum
for Elementary grade levels. It can be found from the website www.dpi.state.nc.us
I clicked on curriculum and then printed out the competencies
The artifact also comes from a document on the 8th Grade Computer Technology
Skills. It can also be found on the website www.ncpublicschools.org
Impact:
I am going to be licensed to teach grades K-6 in North Carolina and
will incorporate these computer skills into my classroom. I am aware that
there are six strands in computer skills for all public school students
in NC:
SI-Societal Issues
KU/WP/DTP-Keyboard Utilization/Word Processing/Desk Top Publishing
DB-Database
SS-Spreadsheet
T-Telecommunications
M/P-Multimedia/Presentation
Alignment:
The link to the NC Technology Competencis aligns with Technology
Competency 10.1. As a future NC public school teacher, I now
know and will incorporate these technology skills into my lesson plans.
The link to the 8th grade testing aligns with Competency 10.5. We have discussed computer skills assessment in the 8th grade in class and concluded that students will be assessed by multiple-choice and performance questions. This is a required test for graduation
