Welcome to 8th Grade Computer Literacy at
Coleman Middle School. It is our mission to help students
explore and get
the skills needed for a successful future.
Computer literacy is an 18 week, (one semester course),
designed to make students aware that the computer is a powerful
tool for
solving problems. The content of the course embraces both
literacy and
applications and is organized to help students become computer
literate. We
define computer literacy to mean what a person needs to know
about using a
computer to solve problems. This course attempts to strike a
balance
between theory and practice by reading and understanding text and
also by
working directly with the computers.
There are many students who exceed computing fundamentals. Our
goal for this
exploratory course is to provide training of basic computer
skills for
7th and 8th grade students.
