1998
Our team's objective is to share our knowledge with other fifth-graders in the state of Virginia who have to pass the fifth-grade SOL test this spring on technology. We concentrated on the main objectives of the test which are: (1) demonstrate a basic understanding of computer theory including bits, bytes, and binary logic (2) develop a basic technology vocabulary that includes cursor, software, memory, disk drive, hard drive, and CD-ROM (3) select and use technology to appropriate to tasks (4) develop basic keyboarding skills (5)operate peripheral devices (6) apply technologies to strategies for problem solving and critical thinking. We hope that our site will help students understand the basic workings of the computer.
