Standard Identifier: 9-12S.AP.20
Content Area: Computer Science
Grade Range: 9–12 Specialty
Concept: Algorithms & Programming
Subconcept: Program Development
Practice(s): Creating Computational Artifacts (5.2)

Standard:
Develop programs for multiple computing platforms.

Descriptive Statement:
Humans use computers in various forms in their lives and work. Depending on the situation, software solutions are more appropriate or valuable when available on different computational platforms or devices. Students develop programs for more than one computing platform (e.g. desktop, web, or mobile). For example, students could develop a mobile app for a location-aware software product and a different program that is installed on a computer. Alternatively, students could create a browser-based product and make it accessible across multiple platforms or computers (e.g., email).
