Discussion:
-
-
It was discussed and agreed that the categories
specified in the draft chart were
appropriate and inclusive of the skills needed to fulfill the Delaware
Computer Literacy graduation requirement and the NETS
for Students.
-
It was agreed to keep the chart to one page (legal
sized if needed). However, the chart will be accompanied by a preamble
and may have a glossary or examples as appendices.
-
Topics were collected as they occured to folks to
be included in the preamble. So far they are:
-
comments on the importance of embedding technology
skills in the curriculum to support student achievement of the
standards
-
a note that teachers who feel their students
can go beyond items listed at their grade level should feel
free to attempt that
- The group generated a list of discrete skills pertaining to e-mail
and the Internet and grouped them according to Low (K-3), Middle (4-6),
High (7-8) or High School. Many skills were discussed and then eliminated
because they were more appropriately covered in a content area (eg.
evaluating the information in a Web site or composing a good e-mail
message). These are listed below.
| E-mail and Internet Skills |

Low (grades K-3)

High (grades 7-8)

- Save email and organize into folders

as Searchopolis
or Studyweb

|
|
High School
- Select and use appropriate search tools to find information
|
- The group agree to reflect on the items and attempt to place them
into appropriate slots (K-12)
- The next meeting is TBA.
