To use technology responsibly.
Class discussion about online safety and why we have certain rules to follow when we go online.
SMART
Use the TWINKL PLANIT scheme to discuss SMART.
Ask the children to help sort safe and unsafe scenarios and discuss what we should do in each case.
Poster:
Children work together to produce an online safety poster. They can use their drawing skills to do this on the laptop, PC or tablet.
Choose volunteers to show their poster to the rest of the class.

To use a keyboard to edit.
Recap the last lesson by asking the children to name the 'writing parts' of a computer (the keyboard).
Ask the children if they can remember what each part of the keyboard is for.
Editing Task:
Introduce the idea of editing to the children and explain that if we make an error in our work, then we can use the backspace key to delete the error. Explain that sometimes we might only want to delete one letter as opposed to the whole word, so, in this case we can use the arrow keys to move the cursor along (backwards, forwards, up/down).
Get the children to open up a pre-made word document where they will need to edit the mistakes that have been made using both the backspace key and arrow keys.

To use a keyboard to type.
Begin by asking the children the different ways in which we communicate.
How would we do this with a computer? We would write what we want to say using the keyboard.
Explain that when we use the keyboard to write, this is called typing. Show the children the letter keys, space bar, backspace key etc. and briefly explain what they are used for.
Typing Task:
Using previously taught mouse skills, the children will open up a pre-made word document with questions to answer. Using the keyboard, they will type their answers. Once complete, the children will save their work as their name by typing their name into the correct file name box.

To use a mouse to open a program.
Use the mouse or track pad to open up a drawing program such as 2Simple, Early Essentials or Sketchpad.
Technology Explorers:
Once the program is open, the children can use the mouse to explore the different drawing tools to produce a picture of their choice. They will need to click the mouse or track pad to make their choice and then drag the mouse/trackpad to create the marks on screen which will in turn create their picture. This will re-enforce their previous learning of click and drag skills.

To identify a computer and its main parts.
The children begin by drawing what they think a computer looks like and label the main parts (screen, keyboard, mouse etc: 5 minute activity)
After 5 minutes ask for a volunteer to show their 'computer'. Show a picture of PC and ask where the labels should go.
Spot the Difference:
Show the children a tablet, mobile phone and laptop. How are these similar and different to a PC?

Click and Drag Task:
Laptop/ PC set up with images to click and drag to certain places (a drinks can goes into the rubbish bin). The children learn to click on the image with the mouse or trackpad and drag them to where they want the image to be on the screen.

To identify technology
Have a brief discussion about what technology is and what it is used for.
Technology Detectives:
Children search the classroom for technology (timed activity -5 minutes) Come back together to share their findings. Why did they choose the objects.
Technology Sort: The children cut and stick pictures of objects they think use technology and what objects don't.
Discussion:
How has technology helped the human race and the natural world.

# data[].attributes.body
Explain how information technology benefits us.
Ask the children that question and then show them different images of different technology and get them to discus how it benefits us? Also discus how could it hinder us?

# data[].attributes.body
How do we safely use technology. Discuss safety of using different types of technology. Why is it important? Discuss how we can stay safe and come up with some rules for using technology.
Go through Childnet activity of 5 different rules.
OR
could read Smartie the penguin (we have book in class too) and Discuss.

To identify different Technology. First get children to list different forms of technology they know. Then show them pictures and get them to sort into technology/computer or not.
Recognize uses of Information technology. Then discuss what each thing they said was technology is used for and what part is the technology.
Use espresso coding game and BBC bitesize game.
