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 develops pupils’ skills in creating and editing digital content with a word processor. They will improve typing accuracy, learn to navigate keys efficiently and refine design choices for clarity and impact. Alongside the previous unit, this builds essential computer skills that help pupils access, record, and present their learning effectively by using technology as a tool to support what they do.

  1. Exploring the keyboard
  2. Adding and removing text
  3. Make changes to text
  4. Exploring the toolbar
  5. Choosing formatting tools
