What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students create, revise, and share writing in a digital document. They use online tools to work with classmates and type at least one page during one work period.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student types a full page in one sitting with few keyboarding errors. The student saves, names, formats, and shares the file, then gives specific feedback in a shared document.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think typing quickly matters more than accuracy and readable formatting. They may overwrite a partner’s work, post vague comments such as “good job,” or forget to save and share correctly.
How to Assess It
- Give students 25 minutes to type one page about a recent class topic, then share it with a partner. Ask each student to leave one specific revision comment.

Ways to Teach It
Have pairs draft separate paragraphs in one shared document, then use comments to suggest one clear revision for each partner.
Ask students to explain in writing what makes an online comment helpful, then compare strong and weak sample comments.
Run a five-minute keyboarding accuracy challenge where students copy a paragraph and earn points for correct words, spacing, and punctuation.
Create a class newsletter, with each student typing one article and responding to an editor’s comment before publication.
