Beginning Rubric 1 - Basic Computer Operation

This a continuation of the 2008 revision of the CODE77 rubrics - Basic level. An introduction is here.

I.     Basic computer operation (1994)

Level 1     I do not use a computer.
Level 2    I can use the computer to run a few specific, preloaded programs. It has little effect on either my work or home life. I am somewhat anxious I might damage the machine or its programs.
Level 3    I can set-up my computer and peripheral devices, load software, print, and use most of the operating system tools like the scrapbook, clock, note pad, find command, and trash can (recycling bin). I can format a data disk.
Level 4    I can run two programs simultaneously, and have several windows open at the same time. I can customize the look and sounds of my computer. I use techniques like shift-clicking to work with multiple files. I look for programs and techniques to maximize my operating system. I feel confident enough to teach others some basic operations.

I. Basic computer operation (NETS I.A., I.B.) (2002)

Level 1   I do not use a computer.
Level 2   I know the basic operations of using a mouse, clicking, and working with windows. I can use the computer to open, run and close a few specific, preloaded programs. Computer use has little effect on how I work. I am somewhat anxious I might damage the machine or its programs.
Level 3    I can set-up my computer and peripheral devices, load software, print, and use most of the operating system tools like the clipboard, clock, note pad, find command, and trash can (recycling bin). I can format a data disk, connect to my school’s network, and run programs that require a CD. I have a virus protection program that scans my files on a regular basis.
Level 4    I can run several programs simultaneously, and have multiple windows open at the same time. I can customize the look and sounds of my computer. I use techniques like shift-clicking to work with multiple files. I look for programs and techniques such as using virtual memory to maximize my computer system. I feel confident enough to teach others some basic operations.

I. Basic computer operation (NETS ? ) (2008)

Level 1    I do not use a computer.
Level 2    I know the basic operations of using a mouse and trackpad, clicking, and working with a windows-type interface. I can use the computer to open, run and close a few specific, preloaded programs. Computer use has little effect on how I work. I am somewhat anxious I might damage the machine or its programs.
Level 3    I can set-up my computer and peripheral devices, load software, print, and use most of the operating system tools like the clipboard, clock, note pad, find command, and trash can (recycling bin). I can format a data disk, connect to my school’s network and access programs and resources on the network. and run programs that require a CD. I have a virus protection program that scans my files on a regular basis. I can identify the type and version of operating system my computer uses. I can put my computer in a sleep mode for energy conservation.
Level 4    I can run several programs simultaneously, and have multiple windows open at the same time. I can customize the look and sounds of my computer. I use techniques like shift-clicking to work with multiple files and right-clicking to access contextual menus. I look for programs and techniques such as using virtual memory to maximize my computer system. I feel confident enough to teach others some basic operations.
