• Impacts of Computing – Ethical use, safety, digital citizenship

3-5 (Upper Elementary)

• Computing Systems – Troubleshooting, input/output devices
• Networks & Internet – Data transmission, online safety
• Data & Analysis – Organizing and analyzing data
• Algorithms & Programming – More structured coding, conditionals
• Impacts of Computing – Online interactions, accessibility

6-8 (Middle School)

• Computing Systems – Hardware/software interactions, troubleshooting
• Networks & Internet – Protocols, encryption, security risks

I really like the more wholistic approach of their curriculum: fundamentals, life skills, application to the real world, ethics, ect.

I am not sure that i care about networking as much as they do
