Teacher's field guide

What Students Need to Do: Students make a digital piece, such as a slide or class book page, and share it with an audience with adult help. They work with classmates in a shared file and respond to each other’s ideas.
What Mastery Looks Like: A student can add text or an image to a shared slide, read a partner’s comment, and make a useful change. With teacher guidance, they check the finished slide and share it in a class folder.
Common Misconceptions: Some students think clicking Save means others can see their work. Others change a classmate’s words without asking or leave comments like “Nice” that give no useful feedback.
How to Assess It: Give pairs one shared slide titled “Our Favorite Read-Aloud.” Ask each child to add a sentence and comment on their partner’s sentence, then help them share the finished slide with the class.

Lesson moves

Give pairs a shared slide; each adds a labeled classroom photo, checks a partner’s caption, and posts the finished slide in the class folder.
Show “Good job” and “Your caption tells me where the plant grows”; ask which comment helps a classmate revise and why.
Play comment sort: students place printed comments under “helpful,” “unclear,” or “unsafe,” then type one helpful comment on a shared slide.
Have pairs write a digital thank-you card to the librarian, revise it together, and send it from the teacher’s account.
