Computing<br />

Growing up in a digital world means that our children have been<br />

exposed to technology from a young age and their enthusiasm<br />

for it is evident.<br />

Most students are confident at using touch screens and tablets<br />

but may lack confidence when using a keyboard, mouse or<br />

trackpad. In the <strong>Junior</strong> <strong>School</strong>, students use a range of devices<br />

across the curriculum; to prepare your child for this we advise<br />

practising a few key IT skills with them.<br />

• Explore the difference between turning off a tablet/iPad to<br />

shutting down a laptop/desktop computer.<br />

• Explore how to use a mouse or trackpad and discover the<br />

difference between left and right clicking.<br />

• Familiarise themselves with a keyboard. They could begin<br />

learning to touch type on the BBC Dancemat website:<br />

www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf2f9j6/articles/z3c6tfr<br />

• How to navigate between windows using the minimise and<br />

maximise functions.<br />

• Learn how to use Google Search.<br />

• Explore the difference between saving and opening<br />

a document.
