In this phase, you'll learn how to recognize technology at school and use it in a responsible way. You'll also learn how to use a computer to write and format text, then compare it to handwriting on paper. You will choose the right tools in a program to make art, and compare that to working without a computer. You will write short algorithms and programs for floor robots and predict how they will work; and thereafter, you will design and program a character's movements on a screen to tell a story. You will also check out the labels on objects and use them to sort and group objects by their properties.

In this phase, you will learn what IT is and how to use it in a responsible way to make the world a better place, both in school and outside of it; take and change digital photos for different purposes; create and debug programs and use logic to make predictions; design algorithms and programs that use events to trigger sequences of code to make an interactive quiz; collect data in tally charts and use attributes to organize and present data on a computer. You will also use a computer as a tool to experiment with rhythms and melodies before making a musical composition.
