Grades 9-12, Information and Technology Essential Standards
VIEW the standards--riveting reading.
OK, so these are ESSENTIAL so we really can't ignore them. So let's break it on down.
Here's a handy tool to help unlock the jargon. It's kind of the thing I need when my son starts talking about the intricacies of Star Wars, which he refers to as A New Hope (?).
Standards and Clarifying Objectives are in the format:
AA.B
AA.B.C
AA = Two-digit alphabetic code for K-12 Essential Standard
B = Grade Level (HS = 9-12)
C = Objective number
SI: Sources of Information
IN: Informational Text
TT: Technology as a Tool
RP: Research Process
SE: Safety and Ethical Issues
So, finally, here they are.
Sources of Information
HS.SI.1--Evaluate resources needed to solve a given problem.
DHMO.org (Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division) or
Felline Reactions to Bearded Men or
California's Velcro Crop Under Challenge
Ladies Against Women or
Earthsave: Healthy People for a Healthy Planet
Technology as a Tool
HS.TT.1--Use technology and other resources for assigned tasks
Research Process
HS.RP.1--Design project-based products that address global problems.
Safety and Ethical Issues
HS.SE.1--Analyze issues and practices of responsible behavior when using resources.

Sources of Information
HS.SI.1--Evaluate resources needed to solve a given problem.
- HS.SI.1.1: Evaluate resources for reliability. (Reliability can be determined by currency, credibility, authority, etc. depending on the curriculum topic).
DHMO.org (Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division) or
Felline Reactions to Bearded Men or
California's Velcro Crop Under Challenge
- HS.SI.1.2: Evaluate resources for point of view, bias, values, or intent of information.
Ladies Against Women or
Earthsave: Healthy People for a Healthy Planet
- HS.SI.1.3 Evaluate content for relevance to the assigned task.
Technology as a Tool
HS.TT.1--Use technology and other resources for assigned tasks
- HS.TT.1.1: Use appropriate technology tools and other resources to access information (multi-database search engines, online primary resources, virtual interviews with content experts).
- HS.TT.1.2: Use appropriate technology tools and other resources to organize information (e.g. online note-taking tools, collaborative wikis).
- HS.TT.1.3 Use appropriate technology tools and other resources to design products to share information with others (e.g. multimedia presentations, Web 2.0 tools, graphics, podcasts, and audio files).
Research Process
HS.RP.1--Design project-based products that address global problems.
- HS.RP.1.1: Design global-awareness project-based products individually and collaboratively.
Safety and Ethical Issues
HS.SE.1--Analyze issues and practices of responsible behavior when using resources.
- HS.SE.1.1: Analyze ethical issues and practices related to copyright, not plagiarizing, and netiquette.
- HS.SE.1.2: Analyze safety issues and practices when using online resources (legal and criminal consequences, long-term career consequences of behavior).
