Elementary+Computer+Lab+Scope+and+Sequence

During the summer of 2009, the elementary computer lab teachers met to find common ground and build a technology scope and sequence for CMCSS. They organized ISTE's national technology standards and added them to the regular classroom standards in the [|Curriculum Navigator]. They know, as we all do, that technology instruction is best within the context of meaningful work, not as a stand alone set of skills. More importantly, it is the duty of all conscientious teachers to integrate technology skills into the regular classroom instruction of our students. Our students are living in a world where technology plays a larger role in their day. Technology is not just for recreation and social use but for collaboration and practical use in the work environment.

To help guide them, they began to build a list of skills that should be taught to every student at each grade in elementary school. As is the case most often, they were not alone. Others had done the same. They found the following scope and sequence and adopted it as their own. This scope and sequence is not as strict as a pacing guide. There is freedom to work through the skills of each grade level as it fits best into that grade's curriculum. In other words, it gives guidance as to what skills should be taught by what grade without locking teachers into teaching a specific standard for a certain week or day.
