SECTION 210:15-3-201. Computer Science standards for first grade

(a)   Computing Systems.

(1)   Devices. With guidance, select and use a computing device to perform a variety of tasks for an intended outcome.

(2)   Hardware and Software. Use appropriate terminology in naming and describing the function of common computing devices and components (e.g., mouse is used to control the cursor).

(3)   Troubleshooting. Identify, using accurate terminology, simple hardware and software problems that may occur during use (e.g., app or program is not working as expected, no sound is coming from the device, caps lock turned on).

(b)   Networks and the Internet.

(1)   Network Communication and Organization. Recognize that by connecting computing devices together they can share information (e.g., remote storage, printing, the internet).

(2)   Cybersecurity. Identify what passwords are, explain why they are not shared, and discuss what makes a password strong. Independently, use passwords to access technological devices, apps, etc.

(c)   Data Analysis.

(1)   Storage. With guidance, locate, open, modify, and save an existing file, use appropriate file-naming conventions, and recognize that the file exists within an organizational structure (drive, folder, file).

(2)   Collection, Visualization, and Transformation. With guidance, collect data and present it in two different ways.

(3)   Inference and Models. With guidance, identify and interpret data from a chart or graph (visualization) in order to make a prediction, with or without a computing device.

(d)   Algorithms and Programming.

(1)   Algorithms. With guidance, model daily processes and follow algorithms (sets of step-by-step instructions) to complete tasks verbally, kinesthetically, with robot devices, or a programming language.

(2)   Variables. With guidance, model the way that a program accesses stored data using a variable name.

(3)   Control. With guidance, independently or collaboratively create programs to accomplish tasks using a programming language, robot device, or unplugged activity that includes sequencing and repetition.

(4)   Program Development.

(A)   Independently or with guidance, create a grade-level appropriate artifact to illustrate thoughts, ideas, or stories in a sequential (step-by-step) manner (e.g., story map, storyboard, and sequential graphic organizer).

(B)   Independently or with guidance, give credit to ideas, creations, and solutions of others while writing and/or developing programs.

(C)   With guidance, independently or collaboratively debug programs using a programming language and/or unplugged activity that includes sequencing and repetition.

(D)   Use correct terminology (first, second, third) and explain the choices made in the development of an algorithm to solve a simple problem.

(e)   Impacts of Computing.

(1)   Culture. Identify how people use different types of technologies in their daily work and personal lives.

(2)   Social Interactions. With guidance, identify appropriate and inappropriate behavior. Act responsibly while participating in an online community and know how to report concerns.
