Learners should understand how computers store and are able to share content.
They should be able to use ‘common apps’, such as O365 or Adobe Express to create documents, edit media and share this content in class.
This learning covers Experience and Outcome x-01a.
Where to start
This section focuses on the knowledge and skills that learners need to make and share content, documents or files.
BBC Bitesize has useful information on how technology stores and shares information and how it can be used to communicate. Go to BBC Bitesize
GCF Global has a range of tutorials on using the Microsoft O365 and Google Workspace productivity suites. Go to GCF Global
Adobe Express can be used to create and edit images, videos and PDFs. Go to Adobe Express
When planning digital literacy learning it might be useful to consider the next steps and family engagement.
Creating and sharing documents and media lends itself to other areas of the curriculum, such as:
- word processing a text in literacy & English
- editing a video showing a skill or performance
- information handling using a spreadsheet to store data in a table
