Standard 2.2 | ISTE Criterion 6 - Advocate for equitable access.
Advocate for equitable access to educational technology, digital content and learning opportunities to meet the diverse needs of all students. (PSC-IT 2.2/ISTE-E 2b)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contextualization
In Artifact 4, I identified elementary students as a group of learners with an unfair advantage to learning computer science standards, specifically coding. To advocate for access to support them, I proposed a grant for micro:bit Basic Coding Kits to teach students how to code. This starter kit supports Makecode graphical programming, JavaScript programming, Python and other programming methods, all in line with the Computer Science standards. By providing elementary school students access to this educational technology, we can prepare students to be flexible learners, to collaborate, to think critically and to persevere in both academic and real-life struggles and thus level the playing field in computer science opportunities amongst all students. This criterion is highlighted in the video from 0:00 to 3:19.
