Working together
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can recognise how sharing information online can help people to work together.
Key learning points
- Shared files can be stored and accessed online.
- Information can be sent over the internet in different ways.
- The internet allows different media to be shared.
Keywords
Cloud storage - saving files on the internet, not your device
Media - text, images, sound or video used to share ideas
Online - connected to or available through the internet
Common misconception
You need to email a file to share it.
Shared links and cloud storage allow others to open the same file directly.
Teacher tip
Provide pupils with slide templates that include headings to support them in structuring their ideas and contributions clearly.
