Content Area:
Computer Science
Grade Range:

Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Subconcept:

Practice(s):
Fostering an Inclusive Computing Culture (1.2)
Standard:
Evaluate the impact of equity, access, and influence on the distribution of computing resources in a global society.
Descriptive Statement:
Computers, computation, and technology can help improve the lives of humans and support positive developments in society, economy, and/or culture. However, access to such resources is not the same for everyone in the world. Students define and evaluate ways in which different technologies, applications, or computational tools might benefit all people in society or might only benefit those with the greatest access or resources. For example, students could describe ways in which groups of people benefit, do not benefit, or could benefit better by access to high-speed Internet connectivity. Alternatively, students could describe educational impacts of children not having access to a computer in their home.
