lesson
Use permission and trusted support
1 · Learn
Create with your own work or material you are allowed to use, crediting sources where required. Keep private details out of practice datasets and media projects. An online identity or friendly message is not proof of trustworthiness.
If content or contact worries you, stop and seek help from a trusted adult. Do not send private details, recordings or money because someone pressures you or requests secrecy. Adults can help report and block appropriately.
2 · Worked example
A pretend message asks for a voice clip to unlock a prize. I do not send it and ask my trusted adult for help rather than trying to investigate the sender alone.
3 · Your turn
Should a practice database contain classmates' addresses just because the exercise asks for records?
Check your answer
No. Use invented non-personal data appropriate to the learning task.
4 · Apply your learning
Review one of your projects for permissions, private information and audience. Practise a help request using a fictional scenario.
Adult guidance and safety
Use adult-approved offline or school-managed tools, invented data and original media. Keep projects private unless sharing is explicitly approved. Paper traces support, but do not replace, practical programming and saved digital work. No real passwords or personal records belong in these exercises.
Open your writing and drawing pad
Write, draw or show your working. Use a mouse, pen or finger. This pad is not a submitted answer.
Not saved to your account. Download your drawing as PNG and your typed notes as TXT before leaving or refreshing. They are separate files. Do not enter private information.
Open a picture saved on this device to draw on it again. Opening replaces the drawing, but Undo can restore it. PNG only, up to 4 MB and 4096 × 4096 pixels. The picture stays in this browser; it is not uploaded. Paper lines in a saved picture become part of that picture.
Clear the drawing? Your typed notes will stay. You can undo this action.
Your pad is empty.
Open a UTF-8 TXT file from this device, up to 40 KB and 10,000 characters. It stays in this browser. Opening can be undone until you type again. Downloads keep a new copy; they do not change the file you opened.
Replace the notes on this page with the opened file? Download the current notes first if you want to keep them.
Typed notes are not submitted answers.
Check a calculation · Year 5 onward
Use this only when your teacher or adult allows a calculator for the task. Show your thinking first. It does not replace mental or written arithmetic and does not mark your lesson answer.
