Expected Core Topics and Skills

 

Book 5 focuses on developing creative and analytical digital skills, preparing students for the secondary level. Key subjects include:

 

1. Advanced Productivity & Data Handling

 

• Spreadsheets (Introduction to MS Excel/Similar):
  • Learning the structure of a spreadsheet (cells, rows, columns, worksheets).
  • Entering and manipulating data.
  • Performing simple calculations (e.g., addition, subtraction) using formulas.
  • Creating basic charts and graphs to represent data visually.
• Advanced Presentations (MS PowerPoint):
  • Moving beyond basic slides to cover animation, slide transitions, and sound integration to create effective multimedia presentations.

 

2. Multimedia and Web Creation

 

• Video Editing/Audio-Visual Communication:
  • Introduction to basic video editing concepts (e.g., trimming, sequencing, adding transitions).
  • Understanding the role of graphics, audio, and visual communication.
• Introduction to Web Design (Foundational):
  • Basic principles of how websites are structured.
  • May include an introduction to HTML or using simple drag-and-drop website creation platforms.

 

3. Digital Literacy and Systems

 

• Computer History & Generations: A detailed overview of the generations of computers, covering key technologies (vacuum tubes, transistors, microprocessors) and historical figures.
• Networking and the Internet: Deeper exploration of the Internet’s structure, different Internet services (like email and social media), and the concept of the Digital World itself (advantages and disadvantages).
• Digital Security and Ethics (E-Safety): Reinforcing the importance of privacy, strong passwords, and critical thinking regarding online information.

 

4. Foundational Computer Science (Coding)

 

• Building on block-based programming from previous grades, students are expected to engage in more complex coding projects that develop problem-solving and algorithmic thinking skills.
• May include a light introduction to the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its simple applications.
