Following! This is a recent conversation with the LMS lead and the Science (who covers the STEM teacher) lead. These skills, I believe are everyone's. They will be learned organically as students use the programs taught by each teacher. In The LMS world, we would teach using our OPAC, online data bases and the like. In STEM they might use code.org, which actually has a level to teach that. In the classroom they use programs like iReady or Starfall, and the students will learn by doing. Like reading in some regards, everyone is doing it in thier content area, we are all responsibe.

I was wondering how basic computer skills (using a trackpad, highlighting, copy and pasting, etc.) are introduced at the elementary level in your schools, as well as who is in charge of that (library media specialists? classroom teachers? STEM teachers?). Thanks for any perspective you might be able to provide.
