1 approach
Choosing the right digital tool 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 Choosing the right digital tool 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
- Choose the best tool for three tasks (e.g. a budget, a poster, a how-to video) and justify each choice
- Use digital-specific features effectively, such as styles and templates, image cropping, spreadsheet formulas or search filters
- Apply common conventions such as consistent formatting, file naming, alt text for images and acknowledging sources
“When your child has a school project, do they pick the right tool — slides for a talk, a spreadsheet for numbers, a video app for a how-to — and use its features well?”
