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 5
Learners trace data through a computer system (input, processor working with memory, storage, output, all managed by the operating system), compare devices' processor, memory, storage and battery for different tasks, and explain bigger systems: embedded computers that use sensors and actuators, and clients that request information from servers.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 5
Learners measure typing fluency in words per minute and correct words per minute, set goals that keep accuracy high, edit efficiently with cut, copy, paste, undo, redo and find-and-replace (and avoid its classic traps), and proofread systematically, judging spelling and grammar suggestions instead of accepting them blindly.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 5
Using Grid Sheet, a pretend spreadsheet, learners summarise data with SUM, AVERAGE, MIN and MAX, fill a formula down a column and predict how its cell references shift, sort and filter rows without breaking them apart, and choose and read the right chart (bar, line or pie) for a question, finishing by describing what a chart shows.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 5
Learners judge sources like fact-checkers: they identify a source's purpose (inform, persuade, sell, entertain), separate facts from opinions, tell primary from secondary sources, and use lateral reading (leaving a page to see who is behind it and what other reliable sources say), including checking photos that may be edited or used out of context.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 5
Learners follow data across the internet (packets with IP addresses, routers choosing paths, and DNS turning names into addresses), use a simple shift cipher to understand encryption and what the padlock in a browser really means, and build a personal security toolkit: unique passphrases, a password manager with a trusted adult, two-step verification, updates and care on public Wi-Fi.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 5
Learners find out that creators automatically own their original work (copyright), that using it needs permission or a licence unless it is in the public domain, how to read simple open-licence conditions and write a full attribution, how to remix responsibly, and how photos and videos can be edited to persuade.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 5
Learners meet artificial intelligence as programs that learn patterns from many examples rather than thinking like people. They follow how a pretend fruit sorter is trained and tested, use a sampling simulation to see why small or unrepresentative data gives poor results, and practise responsible use: checking AI answers, keeping private information out, keeping humans in charge, and saying when AI helped.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Grade 5
Learners plan and build a digital research portfolio: a focused question, a tidy folder structure, file names that sort by date and track versions, a source list of evaluated sources with full citations (including any AI help), notes in their own words, an accessible final presentation, and a reflection backed by evidence from their own process.
