Computer Literacy: Curriculum Guide.
Texas Education Agency, Austin.
Developed as a planning guide for the Computer Literacy Curriculum, a junior high course required by the Texas State Board of Education, this document presents objectives, student activities, and suggested resources that can be used for a full year or semester course. A list of computer literacy learning objectives interprets the essential elements for the course in behavioral terms and contains both student learning outcomes and supporting enabling objectives for five elements: computer related terminology and use; history and development of computers; use of the computer as a tool; communicating instructions to the computer; and problems and issues of computer use in society. Student activities suggest possible strategies for guiding students toward mastery of each objective. Also discussed are programming methodology; differentiated instruction for students with computer experience, for special education and for physically handicapped students; computer clubs; and keyboarding. Sample resources listed include books, journals, and student journals; software; audiovisuals; and directions for teacher-made materials such as games. (LMM)
