Meet technology · Lesson 3 of 17

Use devices with care

Read with an adult. Take your time. You can say, point, draw or write your answer.

Let's look together

Clean, dry hands help us use devices safely. Keep drinks away. Sit comfortably and take breaks with your adult.

If something seems wrong, stop and ask. You do not need to fix a cable, socket or hot device yourself.

Dry handsDrinks awayGentle touchAsk for help

Look, point and talk with your adult.

Watch how I do it

I see a loose cable. I leave it alone and tell my adult. I do not pull it or put anything into the socket.

Your turn

Water spills near a plugged-in device. Should you touch the plug or tell an adult and stay clear?

Have a go before opening the answer.

Let's check together

Tell an adult and stay clear. Do not touch the device or plug.

Try it away from the page

Agree three device-care rules with your adult. Point to a comfortable place to work.

Explore and practise freely. Opening a lesson saves your starting point. Mark it complete after studying, pass its quizzes and submit its online worksheets. The writing pad does not save a score.

Adult notes · prerequisites, safety and coverage

Adult supervision throughout. Accessibility and posture needs vary; do not prescribe one grip or input method for every child.

Computing is the curriculum subject name. KS1 expectations span Years 1 and 2; this is our Year 1 introduction. Stay with the child, use school-approved tools, and practise on a device as well as on paper. Never enter real passwords or personal information in exercises.

Use technology respectfully, protect private information and seek help.

These are teaching introductions, not a claim of mastery. Open the subject's coverage map and limits.
