Students explore how technology can help them learn, create, and communicate. Through playful, hands-on experiences, they begin developing basic technology routines, sequencing skills, and safe and responsible habits.
-
Students build confidence and independence using digital tools to create, communicate, and solve simple problems. They begin exploring computational thinking, coding, and digital citizenship through developmentally appropriate hands-on experiences.
-
Students use digital tools with increasing independence to create, organize, and share their ideas. They strengthen foundational coding and computational thinking skills while learning to make safe and responsible choices with technology.
-
Students expand their ability to create, communicate, research, and solve problems using digital tools. They apply sequencing, patterns, algorithms, and beginning programming concepts while developing greater independence as responsible digital learners.
-
Students use technology to design, create, research, and communicate for a variety of purposes. They develop programs, apply computational thinking strategies, evaluate digital information, troubleshoot problems, and collaborate with others.
-
Students take on increasingly complex design and problem-solving challenges using digital tools and computer science concepts. They plan, create, test, debug, revise, evaluate information, and collaborate to develop and improve digital solutions.
-
Students integrate digital literacy and computer science skills to address increasingly complex and authentic challenges. They design and improve solutions, analyze information, develop and debug programs, collaborate effectively, and consider the impact of technology on themselves and others.
