Computers & Digital Literacy · Every grade
A hands-on start for anyone new to computers, tablets or PlayOwl. Children really point, click, tap, drag, scroll, zoom and type, open and close tabs and windows, search on a pretend web, and take a tour of PlayOwl, all inside safe practice screens. It works with a mouse, a touch screen or a keyboard.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 3
Learners model a computing system as hardware, software, data and people working together, tell memory (a desk for work in progress) from storage (a filing cabinet that keeps files), and tell the operating system from apps. They then troubleshoot like technicians: describe the symptom, guess a likely cause, test one fix, and check the result.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 3
Learners set up a healthy typing posture, learn which finger types each letter key (finger zones), practise reaching from the home row and returning, and measure accuracy by counting correct and incorrect letters. They finish by writing a realistic practice plan that puts accuracy before speed.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 3
Learners structure documents with a title, headings, paragraphs and the right kind of list, format for readability (size, contrast, consistency and bold used sparingly), edit efficiently with select, cut, copy, paste and undo, and proofread for the mistakes spell-check cannot catch.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 3
Learners turn a research question into strong keywords, start from curated sources (a teacher's link list, the school library database, a kids' encyclopedia) and explain why, skim an original article about monarch butterflies for the sentences that answer their question, and take notes in their own words with a record of where each fact came from.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 3
Learners read and build tables (rows, columns, headers, cells), collect their own data by running a simplified ramp simulation and recording each trial, show results in a bar chart that fits the question, and check data quality by spotting missing values, typing mistakes, duplicates and impossible values before trusting a chart.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 3
Learners follow an email from a device through routers and the internet to a mail server, where it waits until the receiver's device collects it. They choose the right tool and tone for a purpose and audience, learn the parts of an email, practise responsible habits (think before sending, ask before forwarding, report worrying messages), and write a clear, kind email of their own.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 3
Learners decide which permissions (camera, microphone, location, contacts, photos) an app really needs and why to ask a grown-up first, spot details in photos that reveal where someone is, and learn that creators own their work: we ask permission or use free-to-use works, and give credit with the title, creator and source.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 3
Learners plan a short digital report for an audience (title, introduction, sections with headings, conclusion), then make it accessible: heading styles, useful alt text for images, readable size and contrast, meaning that doesn't depend on colour alone, descriptive link text and captions. They finish by checking a draft against an accessibility checklist and revising a section.
