(Please see Appendix V. for complete set of Technology Skills: Performance Target Standards)


1.18 RESEARCH:

Grades K-2, (5-8 year-olds)

Grades 3-5, (8-11 year-olds)

Grades 6-8, (11-14 year-olds)

Students use computers, telecommunications, and other tools of technology to research, to gather information and ideas, and to represent information and ideas accurately and appropriately. This is evident when students:

1.18 Information Technology - Research Cross Referenced to Field of Knowledge Standards:

5.1-7.19

· Understand and use library circulation procedures.

· Use materials with proper care.

· Explores the Internet with teacher support.

· Use computer for word processing with teacher assistance.

· Use electronic systems to access a variety of information.

· Use materials with proper care.

· Become familiar with current multimedia technologies and production.

· Use computer for word processing with greater independence.

· Determine and use the most appropriate electronic system to access a variety of information.

· Use materials with proper care.

· Use multi-media technologies to represent information and ideas accurately.

· Use computer for word processing.

1.19 INFORMATIONAL SOURCES:

Grades K-2, (5-8 year-olds)

Grades 3-5, (8-11 year-olds)

Grades 6-8, (11-14 year-olds)

Students critique what they have heard. This is evident when students:

1.19 Informational Sources Cross Referenced to Field of Knowledge Standards:

5.1-7.19

Explore a variety of information sources with supervision (e.g. card catalogue, CD Rom, Internet). Use a variety of information sources with supervision (e.g. encyclopedias, CD Rom, books, Internet). Use a variety of information sources independently (e.g. Wilson Disk, Reader’s Guide to Periodicals, Internet, CD Rom, books).
1.20 COMMUNICATION OF DATA:

Grades K-2, (5-8 year-olds)

Grades 3-5, (8-11 year-olds)

Grades 6-8, (11-14 year-olds)

Students use graphs, charts, and other visual presentations to communicate data accurately and appropriately. This is evident when students:

1.20 Communication of Data Cross Referenced to Field of Knowledge Standards:

5.1-7.19

Read charts and graphs. · Read and analyze charts, graphs and other visual representation.

· Begin to use computers to graph and chart data.

· Read, analyze and draw conclusions from charts, graphs and other visual representations.

· Use computers to design graphs, charts and other visual representations to communicate data.

1.21 SELECTION:
