Sample Curriculum Outline: Elementary School

The basic idea:

  • Add a few hours of instruction as part of an existing module on computer use or information use. Or, make a stand-alone curriculum.
  • Introduce this in elementary school, high school and college (minimally!), when people first encounter a substantially different information use environment

Elementary School: During the first structured introduction to computer use (sometime around 4th grade)

  • What is information about me, and who knows it?
  • Why do we keep secrets sometimes?
  • What kinds of things can I find out using computers? Is what I find on a computer always right?
