• 21C.O.5-8.1.TT7 - Student uses advanced features and utilities of presentation software (e.g., design templates, design layouts (fonts/ colors/ backgrounds) animation and graphics, inserting pictures, objects, movies, sound, charts, hyperlinks, and graphs) to create an original product.
• 21C.O.5-8.1.TT9 - Student uses telecommunications tools (e.g., email, web pages, blogs, discussion groups, list-servs, etc.) to learn academic content and to gather, share and publish information to various audiences.
• 21C.O.5-8.1.TT10 - Student uses Internet browsers, various search engines, book marking features, and advanced search techniques to gather information; student evaluates the information for validity, bias, appropriateness, content and usefulness.

• 21C.S.5-8.2 - The student will demonstrate the ability to explore and develop new ideas, to intentionally apply sound reasoning processes and to frame, analyze and solve complex problems using appropriate technology tools.
• 21C.O.5-8.2.LS1 - Student engages in a critical thinking process that supports synthesis and conducts evaluations by applying comprehensive criteria.
• 21C.O.5-8.2.LS3 - Student engages in a problem solving process that divides complex problems into simple parts in order to devise solutions.
• 21C.O.5-8.2.LS4 - Student creates thoughtful ideas and solutions and takes risks as he/she works toward goal despite mistakes. Student begins to consistently think of all the possibilities and diverges to become more expansive with his/her thoughts/ideas that lead to the creation of original products.
• 21C.O.5-8.2.TT2 - Student collaborates with peers, experts, and others using telecommunications and collaborative tools to investigate curriculum-related problems, issues, and information, and to develop solutions or products for audiences inside and outside the classroom.
• 21C.O.5-8.2.TT3 - Student uses multiple technology tools for gathering information in order to solve problems, make informed decisions, and present and justify the solutions.
• 21C.O.5-8.2.TT4 - Student formulates a plan and uses technology tools and multiple media sources to compare and analyze information in order to solve real-world problems.

• 21C.S.5-8.3 - The student will exhibit leadership, ethical behavior, respect for others; accept responsibility for personal actions considering the impact on others; take the initiative to plan and execute tasks; and interact productively as a member of a group.
• 21C.O.5-8.3.LS1 - Student manages emotions and behaviors, engages in collaborative work assignments requiring compromise, and demonstrates flexibility by assuming different roles and responsibilities within various team structures.
• 21C.O.5-8.3.LS2 - Student is flexible in approach to solving problems and completing tasks, considers alternative methods, solutions and perspectives, abandons strategies that do not work, and reallocates time and resources as priorities change.
• 21C.O.5-8.3.LS3 - Student sets challenging goals and strategically plans to reach those goals, monitors performance and adjusts effort and strategies, seeks assistance when needed, and demonstrates focused commitment to reaching the established goals.
• 21C.O.5-8.3.LS4 - Student demonstrates ethical behavior and works responsibly and collaboratively with others, in academic and social contexts, to accomplish both individual and team goals related to improved academic, extracurricular and co-curricular performances.
• 21C.O.5-8.3.LS5 - Student exhibits interpersonal and problem-solving skills when in the role of leader. He/she helps others stay focused on the goal, monitors progress of the group, and successfully moves the group toward the goal.
• 21C.O.5-8.3.LS6 - Student maintains focus on larger project goal, frames appropriate questions, reflects on possible courses of action and their likely consequences, develops and initiates a plan of action with appropriate smaller objectives and benchmarks, and submits the completed project when due.
• 21C.O.5-8.3.TT1 - Student protects software, hardware and network resources from viruses, vandalism, and unauthorized use and uses proper techniques to access, use and shut down technology equipment.
• 21C.O.5-8.3.TT4 - Student complies with county acceptable use policy.  Student discusses legal and ethical behaviors related to acceptable use of information and communication technology (e.g., privacy, security, copyright, file-sharing, plagiarism) and predicts the possible effects of unethical use of technology (e.g., consumer fraud, intrusion, spamming, virus setting, hacking) on the individual and society, as well as identify methods for addressing these risks.
