3-5.CS.3 (Computer Science)
Standard Identifier:
3-5.CS.3
Content Area:
Computer Science
Grade Range:
3–5
Concept:
Computing Systems
Subconcept:
Troubleshooting
Practice(s):
Testing and Refining Computational Artifacts (6.2)
Standard:
Determine potential solutions to solve simple hardware and software problems using common troubleshooting strategies.
Descriptive Statement:
Although computing systems vary, common troubleshooting strategies can be used across many different systems. Students use troubleshooting strategies to identify problems that could include a device not responding, lacking power, lacking a network connection, an app crashing, not playing sounds, or password entry not working. Students use and develop various solutions to address these problems. Solutions may include rebooting the device, checking for power, checking network availability, opening and closing an app, making sure speakers are turned on or headphones are plugged in, and making sure that the caps lock key is not on. For example, students could prepare for and participate in a collaborative discussion in which they identify and list computing system problems and then describe common successful fixes. (CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy SL.3.1, SL.4.1, SL.5.1) Alternatively, students could write informative/explanatory texts, create a poster, or use another medium of communication to examine common troubleshooting strategies and convey these ideas and information clearly. (CA CCSS for ELA/Literacy W.3.2, W.4.2, W.5.2)
