Computers/Internet for 2nd Graders

Connecting to TL.I.: Knowledge and Skills Addressed:
Standards ISTE: 126.2. Technology Applications, Kindergarten-
Grade 2.
What specific goals are
you connecting to?
(a) Introduction.

(1) The technology applications curriculum has

four strands: foundations, information acquisition,
work in solving problems, and communication.

(2) Through the study of technology applications

foundations, including technology-related terms,
concepts, and data input strategies, students
learn to make informed decisions about
technologies and their applications. The efficient
acquisition of information includes the
identification of task requirements; the plan for
using search strategies; and the use of technology
to access, analyze, and evaluate the acquired
information. By using technology as a tool that
supports the work of individuals and groups in
solving problems, students will select the
technology appropriate for the task, synthesize
knowledge, create a solution, and evaluate the
results. Students communicate information in
different formats and to diverse audiences. A
variety of technologies will be used. Students will
analyze and evaluate the results.

(b) Knowledge and skills.

(1) Foundations. The student demonstrates

knowledge and appropriate use of hardware
components, software programs, and their
connections. The student is expected to:
(A) use technology terminology
appropriate to the task;
(B) start and exit programs as well as
create, name, and save files; and
(C) use networking terminology such as
on-line, network, or password and access
remote equipment on a network such as a
printer.

(2) Foundations. The student uses data input skills

appropriate to the task. The student is expected
to:
(A) use a variety of input devices such as
mouse, keyboard, disk drive, modem,
voice/sound recorder, scanner, digital
video, CD-ROM, or touch screen;
(B) use proper keyboarding techniques
such as correct hand and body positions
and smooth and rhythmic keystroke
patterns as grade-level appropriate;
(C) demonstrate touch keyboarding
techniques for operating the alphabetic,
numeric, punctuation, and symbol keys as
