6-8.IC.22 (Computer Science)


Standard Identifier: 6-8.IC.22
Content Area: Computer Science
Grade Range: 6–8
Concept: Impacts of Computing
Subconcept: Social Interactions
Practice(s): Collaborating Around Computing, Creating Computational Artifacts (2.4, 5.2)

Standard:
Collaborate with many contributors when creating a computational artifact.

Descriptive Statement:
Users have diverse sets of experiences, needs, and wants. These need to be understood and integrated into the design of computational artifacts. Students use applications that enable crowdsourcing to gather services, ideas, or content from a large group of people. At this level, crowdsourcing can be done at the local level (e.g., classroom, school, or neighborhood) and/or global level (e.g., age-appropriate online communities). For example, a group of students could use electronic surveys to solicit input from their neighborhood regarding an important social or political issue. They could collaborate with a community artist to combine animations and create a digital community collage informing the public about various points of view regarding the topic.
