- [11] You will develop an understanding of programming & computational concepts.
- [12] You will develop fluency with computational concepts (i.e. sequence, loops, events) and practices (i.e. iterative and incremental development, testing and debugging, reusing and remixing).
- [14] You will familiarize yourself with a host of online applications for productivity and creativity.
- [15] You will plan and manage activities to develop a solution or complete a project.
- [16] You will select and use computer applications effectively and productively.
- [17] You will apply existing knowledge to create original works to complete a project.
- [18] You will be able to determine and use the appropriate technology tool(s) for the task at hand in a manner that allows seamless transfer of created objects and documents to flow easily between the selected tools without outside intervention."
