Creating Digital Texts - Presentation
This presentation is an excellent way to introduce computer skills to your Foundation, Year 1 or Year 2 class. The progressive presentation explains the typing, scrolling and selecting skills that the class will develop. The presentation also includes questions and activities for students to complete and share their knowledge during class discussions.
Learning goals
- We are learning to construct texts using software including word processing programs, e.g. MS Word.
- We are learning to use software, e.g. MS Word to construct texts and add images.
- We are learning to use software, e.g. MS Word or PowerPoint to construct texts which include visual and audio elements.
- We are learning to recognise and explore digital systems.
- We are learning to follow, describe and represent a sequence of steps and decisions (algorithms) needed to solve simple problems.
- We are learning to create and organise ideas and information using information systems independently, with a known adult.
- We are learning to create and edit short written texts to record and report ideas and events using capital letters, punctuation and correct spelling of CVC words.
- We are learning to create, re-read and edit short written and multimodal texts to report on a topic, express an opinion or recount an event using capital letters, punctuation and correct spelling.
- We are learning to identify and explore digital systems.
- We are learning to follow and describe algorithms.
- We are learning to use the basic features of common digital tools to create, locate and communicate content.
- We are learning to use the basic features of common digital tools to share content and collaborate, guided by trusted adults.
- We are learning to access our school account with a recorded username and password.
- We are learning to create short imaginative, informative and persuasive multimodal texts using text structures, language and grammatical features appropriate to the audience and purpose.
