Context of the Standard |
Computing enables people to use creative development processes to create computational artifacts for creative expression or to solve a problem. Examples of computation artifacts include programs, images, audio, videos, presentations, or web page files. Computing has the potential to provide students’ opportunities to extend their creative expression to solve problems, create computational artifacts, and develop new knowledge. As students create block and text based programs, they move from being mere consumers of content to engaging in the subject matter by creating computational artifacts. A computational artifact is anything created by a human using a computer. In fifth grade, students are expected to use block based or text based programming to develop basic programs that include sequences, loops, variables, and conditional statements. |
