Overview:

This lesson introduces websites as a means of personal expression. The class first discusses different ways that people express and share their interests and ideas, then looks at a few exemplary websites made by students from a previous course. Finally, everyone brainstorms and shares a list of topics and interests to include, creating a resource for developing a personal website in the rest of the unit.

Content Standard(s):

Digital Literacy and Computer Science DLIT (2018) Grade: 6	6) Identify steps in developing solutions to complex problems using computational thinking. Unpacked Content Evidence Of Student Attainment: Students will: use the problem solving or design thinking process to think logically through a previously solved complex problem. Teacher Vocabulary: computational thinking Knowledge: Students know: how to define the problem. how to plan solutions. how to implement a plan. how to reflect on the results and process. how to iterate through the process again. Skills: Students are able to: identify the steps involved with formulating problems and solutions in a way that can be represented or carried with or without a computer. Understanding: Students understand that: computational thinking is formulating problems and solutions in a way that can be represented or carried out with or without a computer.
Digital Literacy and Computer Science DLIT (2018) Grade: 7	5) Solve a complex problem using computational thinking. Unpacked Content Evidence Of Student Attainment: Students will: break a problem into parts or steps. find patterns or trends. create steps to solve the problem. infer rules or principles associated with problem solving. Teacher Vocabulary: computational thinking Knowledge: Students know: smaller tasks are easier to solve than complex problems. that trends in data can also speed up the problem-solving process. Skills: Students are able to: abstract portions of the problem and focus on smaller tasks to aid in solving a complex problem. Understanding: Students understand that: complex problems can be overwhelming. by decomposing the complex problem into simpler problems, a solution is easier to reach.
Digital Literacy and Computer Science DLIT (2018) Grade: 7	27) Identify data needed to create a model or simulation of a given event. Examples: When creating a random name generator, the program needs access to a list of possible names. Unpacked Content Evidence Of Student Attainment: Students will: select a process or system and then determine the data needed to create a model or simulation of the process or system. Knowledge: Students know: an event is comprised of a set of steps or processes that can be identified and then simulated. Skills: Students are able to: abstract the sequence of activities that make up an event. Understanding: Students understand that: dissecting the parts of an event can aid in understanding of and the simulation of the event.
