C. Focus Statement

1. Due to the increased dependence upon computer technology, it is important that students apply technological concepts as well as mastery of hardware and software skills and knowledge. It is important that students understand electronic and manual information systems. Students must be prepared for a changing work environment which emphasizes both technology skills and a human perspective.

2. Ideally, the first semester of Keyboarding (1/2 unit) should be taught at the junior high (grades 6-8) level. At any level introduction to the keyboard layout and basic touch typing techniques should be taught before students are allowed to use computers in the classroom. If students have not had keyboarding instruction upon entering high school, Keyboarding and Keyboarding Applications should be the first business subjects taken as they are basic foundation courses for all career majors.

3. Some examples of employment options available upon successful completion of the Information Systems career major are:

a. high school:

i. data entry operator;

ii. receptionist/secretary;

iii. clerk;
