BPS Technology Standards based on NETS: Technology Level 3
STANDARD 1: FUNDAMENTAL OPERATIONS AND CONCEPTS
Students understand the operations and function of technology systems and are proficient in the use of technology.
Students know and are able to do all of the above and the following:
1. Communicate about internal technology operations using developmentally appropriate and accurate terminology
a. Apply basic vocabulary related to the internal operations of the technology (e.g., disks, drives, RAM, ROM, CD-ROM port, CD-ROM and DVD)
2. Demonstrate functional operation of technology components
a. Demonstrate correct ergonomic use of technology (e.g., correct posture, position of hands and feet, proper height of keyboard, proper lifting and moving of equipment)
b. Use multimedia resources (e.g., interactive books, educational software, and elementary multimedia encyclopedias)
3. Access information sources (e.g., CD-ROMs, encyclopedias, pre-bookmarked Internet sites)
a. Communicate electronically, under teacher supervision (e.g., video, audio, e-mail)
4. Use developmentally appropriate technology resources to access information and communicate electronically
5. Operate keyboard and other common input and output devices (including adaptive devices for special needs when necessary)
a. Use device in response to software (e.g., point and click, arrow and enter/return keys)
- i. 3rd Grade-15 or less errors
ii. 4th Grade-8-10 wpm with accuracy
iii. 5th Grade-15 wpm with accuracy
c. Retrieve and save information (e.g., text documents, digital photos, music, and video)
d. Print documents, text or image
STANDARD 2: SOCIAL, ETHICAL AND HUMAN ISSUES
Students understand the social, ethical and human issues related to using technology in their daily lives and demonstrate responsible use of technology systems, information and software.
Students know and are able to do all of the above and the following:
1. Demonstrate respect for other students while using technology
a. Describe and practice respect for other students while using technology (e.g., do not duplicate software or documents without authorization; report behaviors that threaten the ability of others to legitimately use resources; allow peers to work uninterrupted; do not erase or damage files, documents or projects)
2. Practice responsible use of software
a. Use equipment appropriately (e.g., use for assignments and school work versus personal pleasure; do not send threats)
b. Describe and practice legal and ethical behaviors when using technology (e.g., do not copy, alter, delete or move another person’s work)
c. Demonstrate and practice safe and correct security procedures (e.g., protect password, Internet safety)
3. Discuss common uses of technology in daily life and the advantages and disadvantages those uses provide
a. Describe three-to-five uses of technology in daily life
b. Discuss the positive and negative impact of technologies such as television and computers on daily life (e.g., negative health impact; safe Internet use, such as knowing what information is safe to share when using e-mail, “talking” to strangers)
STANDARD 3: TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS
Students use technology tools to enhance learning, to increase productivity and creativity, and to construct technology-enhanced models, prepare publications and produce other creative works.
Students know and are able to do all of the above and the following:
1. Use prescribed technology writing or drawing tools for communicating and illustrating
a. Use word processing to create a document and, where developmentally appropriate, use editing tools
b. Insert a graphic into a word processing document
2. Use prescribed technology tools for data collection and basic analysis
a. Use a spreadsheet or database application to perform simple data analysis (e.g., comparisons, collections, graphs and charts)
3. Use prescribed technology tools for publishing and presenting information
a. Use a pre-designed template or stationery to publish a document (e.g., newsletter, word documents, slide show, greeting card, and certificate)
STANDARD 4: TECHNOLOGY COMMUNICATIONS TOOLS
Building on productivity tools, students will collaborate, publish, and interact with peers, experts and other audiences using telecommunications and media.
Students know and are able to do the following:
1. Communicate with others using telecommunications, with support from teachers, family members or student partners
a. Communicate information electronically with support from teachers, family members or student partners (e.g., e-mail, Web page)
2. Use technology tools for individual and collaborative communication activities to share products with audiences inside and outside the classroom
a. Plan, design, and present an academic product to classroom or community (e.g., slide show, progressive story, drawings, story illustrations, video production, digital images)
STANDARD 5: TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH TOOLS
Students will utilize technology-based research tools to locate and collect information pertinent to the task as well as evaluate and analyze information from a variety of sources. Note: The performance objectives described in Standard 5 rely upon the mastery of skills and understanding of concepts from Standards 1-4 of this document
Students know and are able to do the following:
1. Recognize electronic information sources
a. Identify potential sources of information about a topic (e.g., video or cassette tapes, Web pages, CD-ROMs)
b. Locate information in a resource selected by the teacher (e.g., Web page, CD-ROM)
STANDARD 6: TECHNOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR PROBLEM SOLVING AND DECISION-MAKING
Students use technology to make and support decisions in the process of solving real-world problems.
Students know and are able to do the following:
1. Use technology resources for problem solving teacher-directed learning and extended learning activities
a. Based on a class-defined problem, use technology to:
i. collect data
ii . express a solution to the problem
2. Evaluate the accuracy, relevance, appropriateness, comprehensiveness, and bias of electronic information sources.
