Descriptive Statement:
Information from the real world can be stored and processed by a computing device. When stored on a computing device, it is referred to as data. Data can include images, text documents, audio files, and video files. Students store, copy, search, retrieve, modify, and delete information using a computing device and define the information stored as data. For example, students could produce a story using a computing device, storing it locally or remotely (e.g., in the cloud). They could then make a copy of the story for peer revision and editing. When the final copy of the story is complete, students delete any unnecessary files. They search for and retrieve data from a local or remote source, depending on where it was stored. (CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy W.K.6, W.K.5, W1.6, W.1.5, W.2.6, W.2.5) Alternatively, students could record their voices singing an age-appropriate song. They could store the data on a computing device, search for peers' audio files, retrieve their own files, and delete unnecesary takes. (VAPA Music K.2.2, 1.2.2, 2.2.2)
