Collaborating in shared documents
Use the core features of common digital tools to share content, plan tasks and collaborate — adding to a shared class book, co-editing documents or slideshows, using comments, suggestions and version history, and planning with shared task lists or boards — following agreed online behaviours
Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Collaborating in shared documents means practising the idea at the table with a simple screen-free or sandbox check. We will demo once, then your child tries.”
Bring to the table
- A shared-doc mock page on paper (or a sandbox doc)
- Two colored pencils for “two editors”
Extra for the adult
Worked example. Add a comment instead of deleting a teammate’s paragraph.
Optional challenge. For Collaborating in shared documents, add one harder example after success.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: examples tried; results; support used. This session samples Collaborating in shared documents, not mastery.

1 approach
Collaborating in shared documents means practising the idea at the table with a simple screen-free or sandbox check. We will demo once, then your child tries.
Materials: A shared-doc mock page on paper (or a sandbox doc); Two colored pencils for “two editors”. 1. Say the goal of Collaborating in shared documents in plain words once. 2. Adult models one polite edit and one comment without overwriting someone else’s work. 3. Child practices three collaboration moves (edit, comment, or resolve) and names the etiquette rule. 4. Fresh check: one fresh collaboration etiquette choice. Record and stop. Done: three collaboration moves with an etiquette rule each. Proof: parent note of examples and results. Stop: End after the fresh check; keep optional challenge for another day.

Check understanding
- Add their own page or section to a shared class book, document or slideshow without changing anyone else's work
- Use comments, suggestions or version history to give feedback or resolve changes instead of deleting a classmate's work
- Plan a group task in a shared checklist or task board showing who does what and by when, and update progress as work is done
“Has your child worked on a shared document or slideshow with classmates — each doing their own part and leaving comments rather than deleting others' work?”
