Showing 1 - 2 of 2 Standards
Standard Identifier: K-2.CS.3
Grade Range:
K–2
Concept:
Computing Systems
Subconcept:
Troubleshooting
Practice(s):
Testing and Refining Computational Artifacts, Communicating About Computing (6.2, 7.2)
Standard:
Describe basic hardware and software problems using accurate terminology.
Descriptive Statement:
Problems with computing systems have different causes. Accurate description of the problem aids users in finding solutions. Students communicate a problem with accurate terminology (e.g., when an app or program is not working as expected, a device will not turn on, the sound does not work, etc.). Students at this level do not need to understand the causes of hardware and software problems. For example, students could sort hardware and software terms on a word wall, and refer to the word wall when describing problems using "I see..." statements (e.g., "I see the pointer on the screen is missing", "I see that the computer will not turn on"). (CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy L.K.5.A, L.1.5.A, SL K.5, SL1.5, SL 2.5) (Visual Arts Kinder 5.2) Alternatively, students could use appropriate terminology during collaborative conversations as they learn to debug, troubleshoot, collaborate, and think critically with technology. (CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy SL.K.1, SL.1.1, SL.2.1)

Standard Identifier: 9-12.DA.9
Grade Range:
9–12
Concept:
Data & Analysis
Subconcept:
Storage
Practice(s):
Recognizing and Defining Computational Problems (3.3)
Standard:
Describe tradeoffs associated with how data elements are organized and stored.
Descriptive Statement:
People make choices about how data elements are organized and where data is stored. These choices affect cost, speed, reliability, accessibility, privacy, and integrity. Students describe implications for a given data organziation or storage choice in light of a specific problem. For example, students might consider the cost, speed, reliability, accessibility, privacy, and integrity tradeoffs between storing photo data on a mobile device versus in the cloud. Alternatively, students might compare the tradeoffs between file size and image quality of various image file formats and how choice of format may be infuenced by the device on which it is to be accessed (e.g., smartphone, computer).
