lesson
Agree how changes will be made
1 · Learn
Collaborative work needs shared expectations: who edits which section, how comments are used and how disagreements are resolved. Version history can help explain or recover a change where the tool supports it.
Do not overwrite a partner's work just because you prefer a different wording. Suggest a change, explain its purpose and review it together. A saved history is useful only if you know how to identify the version you need.
2 · Worked example
Two learners both edit the title. They compare versions and agree one final title instead of repeatedly replacing each other's work.
3 · Your turn
What should you do before replacing a partner's whole section?
Check your answer
Discuss the issue, propose a specific revision and agree how to preserve needed work; do not silently overwrite it.
4 · Apply your learning
Practise comments and version comparison in an approved private sample document containing no personal information.
Adult guidance and safety
Use a school-approved offline or supervised tool and fictional data. Keep work private, respect media permissions and check accessibility. Paper traces support understanding but do not replace running, saving and testing a real project. Do not enter passwords, addresses or other personal details into 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.
