This is a test. This is jjkerby's sandbox.
Week 3 Assignment
[edit]I would like to add a few things that inform the reader of the presence of computers in the classroom as well as the importance of computer literacy in education.
Week 4 Assignment
[edit]In the current article there is not a strong organized presence of information about computer literacy in education. Therefore, I desire to add content around the importance of computer literacy in and our of the classroom. Also, the importance of a student taking a computer literacy course in school.
Week 5 Assignment
[edit]I feel the main content of my Wikipedia entry will be around the importance of a student taking a computer literacy course in school. I found an article that discusses this exact topic. The paper talks about the importance of a student taking this course early on in their college career. This will help ensure all students are more ready for the college career in this digital age. [1]
Additional content for my Wikipedia entry is about the presence of computer usage in and out of the classroom. In the generation we live in today it would not be surprising for a class to require students to perform tasks using a variety of technology. Students are often required to perform research and search information online, work on assignments online, submit assignments online and much more. There is an increase of computer usage in and out of the classroom to work with such topics mathematics. [2]
Week 6 Assignment
[edit]Keep developing the content...
Note: Before Levels of Computer Literacy section
Title: Computer Literacy in Higher Education
Computer Literacy Course in Higher Education
[edit]In the United States, there is a strong urge for new college students to have adequate computer knowledge when they start their college career. If students are required to take a basic computer literacy course when they enter college, then students will be better prepared for their college career. In addition, this course would provide students from less fortunate backgrounds or students who never had the desire to obtain this knowledge a new opportunity at learning this subject. Students should be provided an introduction to computer literacy course that provides them knowledge in commonly used software, hardware, and terminology. [1]
I made some edits. You need to add a citation to each sentence if you got the info from another source. Also, how does this paragraph relate to Garrett's paragraph on Early Childhood ed?Cathygaborusf (talk) 04:27, 29 November 2016 (UTC)Cathygaborusf
Presence of computer usage in and out of the classroom
[edit]In the United States it is common for classes at the university level to require students to perform a wide array of tasks that use a variety of technology. Students are often required to perform research, participate in online discussions, or submit entire assignments online. As stated by Marcel in 2015, "Various online homework systems have become more advanced and available to the mathematics instructors and students." [2] These tasks and many others all require some level of basic computer literacy. Therefore, obtaining adequate computer literacy should be a top priority for all students.
How does this paragraph relate to the previous one? Why the focus on math? I think you need to balance this out with studies of other subjects or explain that these claims are only pertinent to mathematics students. Do you see how this is too narrow to stand alone?Cathygaborusf (talk) 04:31, 29 November 2016 (UTC)Cathygaborusf
