Computer Applications Assessment Tools
Student Use of Applications
Word processors, presentation tools, databases and spreadsheets are amongst computer applications
designed to manage information, increase productivity and facilitate communication and creativity. They
are pervasive in homes, businesses and educational settings and mastery of them is considered one of the
21st century’s essential literacies.
In school settings, students can use these tools in a variety of disciplines. Teachers are challenged to find
opportunities for students to learn to use a variety of applications. In Learning Phase A, students are
learning about the applications under the guidance and assistance of the teacher. They develop a basic
understanding of what the applications can do and their unique features. In Learning Phase B, students are
developing their independent use of the applications and are increasingly putting them to use to
communicate, solve problems and display their learning. They should have a solid skill set and fluency with
applications prior to moving to Learning Phase C.
The Applications
More ideas begin on page 23.
Word Processor: MS
Works
Students can use the word processor to create, edit, proofread and print a variety of text documents. Photos and graphics can also be added to enhance communication. The ability for students to easily review and edit their work facilitates the writing process.
Use word processing
for
reports poems stories speeches
letters pamphlets plays
Desktop Publishing: MS Publisher
KidPix
The ability to manipulate the layout of printed documents characterizes desktop publishing software. Templates help students make attractive publications with professional looking results.
Use desk top publishing for
pamphlets
fliers
calendars
newsletters
posters
invitations
certificates
Multimedia
Presentations: MS
PowerPoint
Use this software to create onscreen multimedia presentations. Students can incorporate text, graphics, animation, sound and video to teach, report, entertain or communicate new ideas.
Use presentations for learning tools
oral presentations
reports
stories
Spreadsheets: MS
Excel
Spreadsheets are tables used to store data in the form of words and values. With spreadsheet software, students can perform calculations and display data as charts and graphs that make it easier for them to interpret data.
Use spreadsheets for calculations
tables
charts
graphs

Assessing Student Work
As students learn to use the applications, they are using a number of skills simultaneously. For example,
when using a presentation tool, students must consider file management, layout, effects and animation all
for the same assignment. Additionally spelling, accuracy of content and alignment to genre criteria are also
key factors included in the final product. For these reasons, rubrics are indispensable tools for assessing
student work.
Using Performance Rubrics
These performance charts describe student degrees of proficiency in the use of the following computer
applications: word processor, desktop publisher, presentation tool and spreadsheet. The performance
charts range from Primary One to Primary Six with these applications:
word processing skills P1 – P6
onscreen presentations skills P2 – P6
desktop publishing skills P4 – P6
spreadsheets skills P4 – P6
Students
Written from the student’s perspective, the rubrics use language that students may use to describe their
ability to use these applications. The can describe their performance in terms of Needs Improvement,
Satisfactory (on grade level), Good or Very Good. Students must understand that in order to qualify for one
description, they must have qualified for those that come before it and that over the course of the project
they can always improve their grade by using the rubric as a guide.
Teachers
There is one rubric for each application. The rubrics measure the mastery of general application skills and
those particular to that application. Teachers can use these analytic rubrics to formatively assess student
performance with these applications over the development of a project. They can be used to help students
identify areas to be improved and can serve as curriculum guides to help teachers to plan the skills and
knowledge they will be covering for a particular project. Thus, the rubrics serve as tools for students and
teachers. Teachers can design their own strategies and tools to assess more completely the products
created with these applications. Depending on the design of the assignment, additional criteria can include
content knowledge, the organization of ideas, and research and planning processes. Both product and
performance determine the student score.

The Rubrics
Each one has some generic
elements but then others suit the
features of that particular
application. Here is the Primary
One rubric for word processing
with an explanation key.
Over the course of the assignment, a
student can use the rubric to focus
their efforts to improve their scores.
Rubric Year Level & Application Rubric elements or assignment criteria Scales:
Trying to Improve = below target
Satisfactory= on target;
Good = at least one level above target
Very Good= at least two levels above target
Descriptors for criteria
Final score determined by overall rating

ELA
use for independent and guided writing across a variety of genre using photographs and pictures to convey ideas; use appropriate conventions of print, font, text size and colour spelling and grammar to convey meaning; use the features of the word processor to enhance the writing process such as editing, spell check
Math
use word processing features to communicate using mathematical language; use for writing word problems or explanations to problems; writing self assessments and communicating about a topic, concept or problem solving,
Science
use to produce journals, poems, stories, reports, letters, constructed answers incorporating scientific language and graphics; use to create documents relating to scientific observations, experimentation, comparisons, exploration and collection of evidence; use to create tables for classification, log and tally sheet and other tools for investigations
Social Studies
use to produce journals, poems, stories, reports, letters, plays and constructed answers related to historical content/events
Desktop Publishing
ELA
use layout features to incorporate text, graphics, photographs and pictures to convey ideas; create books; calendars; photo essays; graphic interpretations; greeting cards, posters, newsletters, exploring different styles and formats of print materials
Math
use to create a variety of documents using layouts, formatting, graphics and shapes to communicate mathematical concepts, to teach processes and to demonstrate problem solving strategies
Science
use to create pamphlets and books detailing investigations; posters, fliers, multi fold projects; use graphics, photographs, text and layout to document investigations and to organize results and communicate findings
Social Studies
use a variety of layouts to document events and outcomes, create timelines and present research
Page | 24 Bermuda MOED Curriculum and Assessment / P. Callender/2012
Presentations
ELA
use to promote listening and speaking skills with audio/visual presentations; use for retelling accompanied by on-screen presentation including dramatization and oral reports; use presentations to support responding to questions and adapting presentations/content for different audiences
Science
use to create presentations designed to teach others about the process and outcomes of science investigations, present information gathered from research using text, graphics, animation and hyperlinks
Social Studies
use to create presentations designed to teach others about the process and information gathered from research and to create an online presentation illustrating a historical event including original art, text and graphics to illustrate the main points
Spreadsheets
ELA
use to create simple graphs and to organize information gathered from original or other texts
Math
Enter data into a table and create simple graphs; enter data to perform simple calculations; use the graphs with other applications to communicate math concepts; explore a variety of graph types using data students collect and enter into a table on a spreadsheet
Science
collect and chart data from science experiments; generate graphs and create questions that the graph may answer
Social Studies
use survey data to create graphs; use graphs to compare data collected over time

Word Processing Supports Developing Writers
Advanced Organizer with Cues: Create a
template using the characteristics of the
style of writing to create cues for students
to recognize and include all of these
elements.
Brainstorming and Planning Tools:
MS Word’s Smart Charts facilitate
group or independent exploration
of themes or topics for
informational writing.
Fictional writing can be enhanced with
the features of text and
pictures/graphics motivating even
reluctant writers. Editing features alert
students to spelling errors and
alternative words.
Desktop Publishing Ideas for All Areas
Use brochure and poster layouts to
quickly create book reports that
identify and discuss the
characteristics of a particular style
of writing as students explore
MS Publisher also has templates that
create booklets for students of all ages to
publish their work. They can recognize
Students incorporate note taking and
research with the flexible layouts of
newsletter templates. Use this format for
fiction and non-fiction genres.

amongst genre. Posters are also a
good layout for persuasive writing.
themselves as authors and share their
work to get feedback from peers,
teachers and family.
Page | 26 Bermuda MOED Curriculum and Assessment / P. Callender/2012
Multimedia Presentations Can Support Writing
Advanced Organizer with Questions:
Create a template for research reports
containing the KWWL questions.
Students can practice note taking, and
summarizing. Add pictures/graphics to
create an onscreen presentation or
complete as an informational writing
assignment.
As a planning tool, this template
helps students sequence the
events on a story. Students can
add graphics to describe scenes
and then use those graphics to
generate illustrative language.
Photographs, video and animation
can transform a traditional piece of
writing into digital storytelling.
Presentation tools have the advantage of
printed or on-screen projects: as
backdrops for plays or aids to oral
presentations that students produce and
judge cooperatively. This stage can be
dressed up with clip art props for class
performances that bring the play genre to
life.
Spreadsheet Ideas for Social Studies, Health and Science
Create a budget spreadsheet that
calculates the how money earned for a
variety of tasks contributes to the cost of
a bike. Students can explore the various
ways the target price can be reached
and the mathematical operations in
place to make the spreadsheet work.
Students can use this spreadsheet
to organize data found on food
labels. By comparing the
nutritional value of a number of
food types, they can identify the
relationship between the
composition of foods and their
caloric value.
Chart weather data in a table and then
display the data graphically. Students can
explore the reasons for the weather
pattern they see emerging in the graph as
time goes on. Using pictures and colour
enhances the display.
