Description

This unit covers various aspects of using a computer to create and manipulate text. Pupils will become familiar with using a keyboard and mouse to enter and remove text. They will consider how to change the look of their text, and will be able to justify their reasoning for making these changes.

This unit builds on pupils understanding of how to use computers to create and manipulate digital content. They will focus on using a word processor and developing their skills in finding and using keys on a keyboard. Pupils will also have the opportunity to reflect on their design decisions. This unit, in combination with the preceding one, helps pupils develop their awareness of general computer operation and the physical and processing skills that are involved.

  1. Exploring the keyboard
  2. Adding and removing text
  3. Make changes to text
