TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.8.3.B — Vertical Alignment

Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.

Previous grade

TA.K.3.B

use a design process with components such as asking questions, brainstorming, or storyboarding to identify and solve authentic problems with adult assistance.

TA.1.3.B

use a design process with components such as asking questions, brainstorming, or storyboarding to identify and solve authentic problems with adult assistance.

TA.2.3.B

apply a design process with components such as testing and reflecting to create new and useful solutions to identify and solve for authentic problems.

TA.3.3.B

apply an appropriate design process using components such as peer and teacher feedback to create new and useful solutions to authentic problems.

TA.4.3.B

apply an appropriate design process that includes components to improve processes and refine original products for authentic problems.

TA.5.3.B

apply an appropriate design process that includes components to generate multiple solutions for an authentic problem and develop original products.

TA.6.3.B

discuss and implement a design process using digital tools to compare, contrast, and evaluate student-generated outcomes; and

TA.7.3.B

discuss and implement a design process that includes planning and selecting digital tools to develop and refine a prototype or model through trial and error; and

TA.8.3.B

discuss and implement a design process that includes planning, selecting digital tools to develop, test, and evaluate design limitations, and refining a prototype or model; and

High School Extension

Successful demonstration of the technology applications standards prepares students for the following high school courses:

TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS.8.3.B — Breakout of skills

Breakouts are the component parts that make up a student expectation. A breakout shows a distinct concept a student should know or a distinct skill that a student should be able to demonstrate.

The student is expected to

discuss a design process

that includes planning a prototype or model

that includes selecting digital tools

to develop a prototype or model

to test a prototype or model

to evaluate design limitations [on] a prototype or model

that includes refining a prototype or model

implement a design process
