Proposed Exit Criteria?

Some things that I would expect students to know (or be getting a grasp of) by the time they hit 6th grade:


  • Using an operating system (icons, folders, menu systems)

  • Digital organisational skills (naming conventions, directory structures)

  • Style and formatting skills (the importance of carefully selecting colours, font sizes, etc for displaying information), content before style

  • Using built-in Help systems with software

  • Basic search criteria, safe-search options

Please use this as a springboard, my targets may be way off, but I am very open to debate about this.
