| R5 | R5) Locate and curate information from digital sources to answer research questions. |
| R6 | R6) Produce, review, and revise authentic artifacts that include multimedia using appropriate digital tools. |
| 1 | Design a function using a programming language that demonstrates abstraction. Example: Create a program that utilizes functions in an effort remove repetitive sequences of steps. |
| 2 | Explain how abstraction is used in a given function. Example: Examine a set of block-based code and explain how abstraction was used. |
| 3 | Create an algorithm using a programming language that includes the use of sequencing, selections, or iterations. Example: Use a block-based or script programming language Step 1: Start Step 2: Declare variables a, b and c. Step 3: Read variables a, b and c. Step 4: If a>b If a>c Display a is the largest number. Else Display c is the largest number. Else If b>c Display b is the largest number. Else Display c is the greatest number. Step 5: Stop |
| 4 | Create a function to simplify a task. Example: 38 = 3*3*3*3*3*3*3*3; =(Average) used in a spreadsheet to average a given list of grades. |
| 5 | Discuss the efficiency of an algorithm or technology used to solve complex problems. |
| 6 | Describe how algorithmic processes and automation increase efficiency. |
| 7 | Create a program that includes selection, iteration, or abstraction, and initializes, and updates, at least two variables. Examples: Make a game, interactive card, story, or adventure game. |
| 8 | Compare and contrast common methods of securing data. |
| 9 | Secure a file or other data. Examples: lock spreadsheet cell(s), password protect, encrypt. |
| 10 | Analyze different modes of social engineering and their effectiveness. Examples: Phishing, hoaxes, impersonation, baiting, spoofing. |
| 11 | Advocate for positive, safe, legal, and ethical habits when creating and sharing digital content. Example: Students create a brochure that highlights the consequences of illegally downloading media. |
| 12 | Cite evidence of the positive and negative effects of data permanence on personal and professional digital identity. |
| 13 | Evaluate the impact of digital globalization on public perception and ways Internet censorship can affect free and equitable access to information. |
| 14 | Analyze current events related to computing and their effects on education, the workplace, individuals, communities, and global society. |
| 15 | Critique computational artifacts, including options for accessibility for all users, with respect to the needs of a global culture. |
| 16 | Present content designed for specific audiences through an appropriate medium. Example: Create and share a help video for a senior's center that provides tips for online safety. |
| 17 | Communicate and publish individually or collaboratively to persuade peers, experts, or community about issues and problems. |
| 18 | Type 40 words per minute with 95% accuracy using appropriate keyboarding techniques. |
| 19 | Critique the impacts of censorship as it impacts global society. Example: Create a presentation outlining the social implications of limiting access to web content by favoring or blocking particular products or websites. |
| 20 | Examine an artifact that demonstrates bias through distorting, exaggerating, or misrepresenting data and redesign it using factual, relevant, unbiased content to more accurately reflect the truth. |
| 21 | Differentiate types of data storage and apply most efficient structure. Examples: Stack, array, queue, table, database. |
| 22 | Encrypt and decrypt various data. Example: Create and decipher a message sent in a secret code. |
| 23 | Design a digital artifact to propose a solution for a content-related problem. Example: Create a presentation outlining how to create a cost-efficient method to melt snow on roads during the winter. |
| 24 | Compare and contrast common methods of cybersecurity. Example: Discuss how password protections and encryption are similar and different. |
| 25 | Create a model that represents a system. Example: Food chain, supply and demand. |
| 26 | Create a simulation that tests a specific model. Examples: Demonstrate that pressure changes with temperature in a controlled environment; demonstrate that rocket design affects the height of a rocket’s launch; demonstrate that the amount of water changes the height of a plant. |
| 27 | Analyze assistive technologies and how they improve the quality of life for users. Example: Research multiple speech to text technologies and write a persuasive essay in favor of one over another. |
| 28 | Develop a logical argument for and against artificial intelligence. Examples: Students debate the use of artificial intelligence in self-driving vehicles. Students write a persuasive essay to argue for or against digital personal assistants. |
| 29 | Create an artifact to solve a problem using ideation and iteration in the problem-solving process. Examples: Create a public service announcement or design a computer program, game, or application. |
