Sandra Sammarco Donato Technology Literacy Dover-Sherborn Middle School Room 118 Computer Lab
Link here to Ms. Donato's Wiki:
In this age of rapidly changing information technology, students need to acquire technologyskills in order to function effectively in their adult lives. Most workplaces now provide employees with computers and basic applications (spreadsheet, word processing, database, presentation software, e-mail, and browser). Workers must have the skills to use these tools productively. When students leave high school, whether they enter the workforce or college, they will be expected to use computers and the Internet.
In this course students will demonstrate basic proficiency in the use of computers and applications as well as an understanding of concepts underlying hardware, software, and connectivity. They will demonstrate responsible use of technology and an understanding of ethics and safety issues in using e-mail and the Internet.
Students will demonstrate ability to use technology for research, problem-solving, and communication. They will use telecommunications and other media to interact or collaborate with their peers and teacher. Each student will receive a FirstClass email account for communications with peers, teachers and home.
By the completion of the sixth grade computer technology course, students will also demonstrate basic-level competencies in using applications such as word processing, database, spreadsheet, browser, presentation, and graphics software. They will also continue to improve their keyboarding skills through daily practice sessions. |
