The official curriculum document has a fault in this entry, so the curriculum text above is transcribed exactly as printed:
- strand name - printed p.2 and the table of contents head B4 strand 1 "WORD PROCESSING", which is a copy-paste error. Corrected to "INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING" on four pieces of evidence: the scope-and-sequence names strand 1 "Introduction to computing"; B5 and B6 both print "STRAND 1: INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTING" over the same sub-strands; B4 own p.9 heads strand 3 "WORD PROCESSING"; and B4 strand 1 sub-strands are Generation of Computers, MS-Windows Interface, Data Sources and Usage, and Technology in the Community, none of which is word processing
- content standard text - p.8: the standard cell beside this indicator prints 'B4.2.1.1. Demonstrate the use of MS- PowerPoint', which is the standard of the second table on the same page (B4.2.1.1.1 and B4.2.1.1.2). This row is the continuation of sub-strand 1.4 from p.7, so it is filed under B4.1.4.1 and carries that standard's text as printed on p.7
