Impacts of Computing
Sub-Concept:
Culture
Statements:
The design and use of computing technologies and artifacts can improve, worsen, or maintain inequitable access to information and opportunities.
Grade Band:
9-12
Concept:
Algorithms and Programming
Sub-Concept:
Program Development
Statements:
Diverse teams can develop programs with a broad impact through careful review and by drawing on the strengths of members in different roles. Design decisions often involve tradeoffs. The development of complex programs is aided by resources such as libraries and tools to edit and manage parts of the program. Systematic analysis is critical for identifying the effects of lingering bugs.
Grade Band:
9-12
Concept:
Algorithms and Programming
Sub-Concept:
Modularity
Statements:
Complex programs are designed as systems of interacting modules, each with a specific role, coordinating for a common overall purpose. These modules can be procedures within a program; combinations of data and procedures; or independent, but interrelated, programs. Modules allow for better management of complex tasks.
