My Comments: Since our District does not currently
give email accounts to students, I don't have a lot of
experience with student skill development in these areas. My
suggested grade levels are just a guess and I will certainly
bow to those with more information on those topics.
Will students at most districts have the access and
privileges to save email and organize into folders? I think
we should consider what most districts provide in terms of
access/storage when determining which skills to include.
I second Mike's statements that it most important we all
view these as levels at which we can
expect all (almost
all!) students to be
able to perform these tasks. With that in mind, I recommend
we continue to place the skills at levels that may seem high
but would be easily obtainable.
