Computers & Digital Literacy · Pre-K
Children meet three input tools (a finger on a touch screen, a mouse and a keyboard), learn to point and click with a mouse that slides on the table, and use a pretend keyboard to copy short words and make a gap with the space bar. A paper keyboard lets them practise away from the screen.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Pre-K
Children learn that icons are small pictures that stand for an app or a job, match common icons to what they do, and move around a pretend tablet with the home, back and close buttons. They finish by finding the right button in an app they have never seen, and by knowing which buttons are for grown-ups.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Pre-K
In Shape Studio, a pretend app, children build pictures from circles, squares, rectangles and triangles. They learn to select a shape and then change its colour, size or place by dragging, and they plan a picture by choosing its shapes first. Cutting real paper shapes connects the screen to hands-on making.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Pre-K
Children save their work and check the 'Saved' message to make sure it worked, reopen saved work from the gallery to keep going, and learn helpful words for asking a grown-up for help: what I was doing, and what happened. Practice is with pretend apps and talk, not real accounts.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Pre-K
Children sort information into private (home address, phone number, passwords, photos of themselves) and fine to share (favourite colour or animal), practise stopping to ask a trusted grown-up before typing or saying private information on a device, and learn that a password is a secret key shared only with the family grown-ups who look after them. No real personal information is ever asked for.
Computers & Digital Literacy · Pre-K
Children think about what is best done hands-on (smelling, squishing, building, running) and what a device can help with (seeing faraway things, calling family), use a timer and a warning to end device time calmly, and make the same idea two ways, on a screen and with real materials, then say what was different.
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.
