One: North
Carolina Computer Competencies
Competency 10.1: “Use the computer skills Curriculum to identify what students should be able to do.” Competency 10.4: “The N.C. Skills Assessment: Utilize available released items (knowledge and performance) as assessment for computer skills for your appropriate grade level/subject” Context The artifact is a printout of the NC computer technology skills test. I got this artifact from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. (www.dpi.state.nc.us) I clicked on curriculum and read and printed out the competencies. The second artifact is a document about the 8th Grade Computer Technology Skills test. I got this off the internet from www.ncpublicschools.org. Impact I am going to be licensed to teach grades K-6 in North Carolina and I will incorporate these computer skills into my classroom. I am now aware that there are 6 strands in computer skills for all public school students in NC. The strands are: SI = Societal Issues; KU/WP/DTP = Keyboard Utilization/ Word-processing/ Desk Top Publishing; DB = Database; SS = Spreadsheet; T = Telecommunications; MP = Multimedia/ Presentation. Alignment The printout of the NC Computer Skills aligns with Competency 10.1-as a future NC public school teacher, I now know and will incorporate these computer skills into my lesson plans. The printout on the
8th grade testing aligns with 10.5.
We had a discussion about the assessment that all 8th graders have to pass
in class today, and I have a document explaining it.
