Performance Task Assessments: Demonstrating What You Have Learned In This Course

Part of the course requirements is to have you, the student, demonstrate what you have learned by applying the computer science skills and practices that you are supposed to learn from the course's learning objectives.

The Performance Tasks are designed to gather evidence of student learning with regards to the learning objectives. The Performance Tasks measure what is taught in the course, including computational thinking skills. You are expected to complete the following Computer Science Principles Performance Tasks.

1. Performance Task: Explore - Implications of Computing Innovations.

2. Performance Task: Create - Applications from Ideas.

Each Performance Task requires you to create reports and computational artifacts.

Each of the performance tasks will have its own module and set of instructions. I will review the instructions, the report, both individual and collaborative, and the computational artifact you are suppose to create.

If you have any questions, please email them to me.

Tasks to be Completed for the Performance Tasks

Performance Task: Explore - Implications of Computing Innovations

Computational Artifact.

Use computing tools and techniques to create one original computational artifact (a visualization, graphic, video, or audio recording) that you create to express the effects of your chosen innovation.

Written Responses.

a type-written report in which you respond directly to several prompts - elaborating on your chosen area, innovation, and the innovation's impact.

Performance Task: Create - Applications from Ideas

Create a program.

Develop a program in accordance with the program requirements for this Performance Task.

Written responses.

Submit a type-written description of your program, answering several prompts about the process and development of your program.

Video.

Submit one video in .mp4, .wmv, .avi, or .mov format that demonstrates the running of at least one significant feature of your program. Your video must not exceed 1 minute in length and must not exceed 30MB in size.
