ELA
*Use words and pictures to narrate a single event or simple story, arranging ideas in order (K.W.3.3) - use inputs such as touch screen, mouse, keyboard, etc. to arrange pictures in productivity software.

MATH
*Count to at least 100 by ones and tens and count on by one from any number (K.NS.1) - practice typing numbers to increase familiarity with keyboards.

ELA
*Write logically connected sentences to make a proposal to a particular audience (e.g., a parent, classmate, etc.) and
give reasons why the proposal should be considered (1.W.3.1) - use keyboard or touch screen to pubish writing using productivity software.

MATH
*Count to at least 120 by ones, fives, and tens from any given number. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral (1.NS.1) - use productivity software to create lists of numbers and gain familiarity with inputs.

ELA
*Apply the writing process to use available technology to produce and publish legible documents (2.W.4) - use mouse, keyboard, teouch screen, etc. to create documents using productivity software.

Looking Back Looking Ahead

Computer science concepts are not specifically addressed in Indiana Academic standards prior to the K-2 grade band.

* Demonstrate proficiency with keyboards and other input and output devices. (3-5.CD.1)

* Understand the pervasiveness of computers and computing in daily life (e.g., voicemail, downloading videos and audio files, microwave ovens, thermostats, wireless Internet, mobile computing devices, GPS systems). (3-5.CD.2)
