The North Carolina Board of Education and Department of Public Instruction have adopted Essential Standards for Information and Technology. Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year our students in kindergarten through fifth grade focused their learning in five major areas:
- sources of information
- informational text
- technology as a tool
- research process and
- safety/ethical issues.
