Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students use digital tools to type, revise, format, save, and share their writing with adult help. They work with classmates by taking turns, giving feedback, and making changes together.
What Mastery Looks Like: Students can type, edit, format, save, and share a short piece with adult support. They take turns using the device and make a change based on a partner's suggestion.
Common Misconceptions: Students may think publishing means printing, or that adding colors and pictures matters more than clear writing. During partner work, one student may control the device while the other watches.
How to Assess It: Give pairs a three-sentence draft. Ask them to type it, correct one error, add a title, save it, and share it with you.

Lesson moves

Partners type a class poem, taking turns by line, then add a title and one matching image.
Ask students to write which partner suggestion improved their digital story and explain why.
Play an editing relay where pairs fix one spelling, punctuation, or spacing error before passing the device.
Create digital thank-you notes for school staff, then share them by email or on a class page.
