## Ready when they can

- Recognise typing fluency and select practice that addresses frequent pauses to locate keys
- Identify the purpose of a source link, select a repair for an unhelpful destination and identify missing citation details under a stated format
- Distinguish viewing from editing permissions, select an evidence check for a suggested change and choose a privacy repair before public sharing

## Lesson: Writing and Publishing on a Computer

You have typed and shared writing before. Fluent typing means entering words with few pauses to find keys. It can help you keep a sentence in mind while drafting. Practise accuracy in short sessions. Looking at the keys sometimes is fine. Use a comfortable typing method or an agreed input tool that helps you record your ideas.

*(drawing: Feedback can send you back to drafting. Review and revise as needed.)*

A source link opens material supporting a claim. Read the passage and test the link; a link alone proves nothing. A citation identifies the source in words. Follow the requested format. Credit borrowed ideas even in your own words; mark exact wording as a quotation.

**Example.** Imagine 'Garden Paths' by Mina Shah, dated 8 June 2025. This task requires its author, title, publication date and web address. Include each detail; do not invent missing information.

Sharing permissions control viewing, commenting and editing. Viewing alone may not allow suggestions. A comment gives feedback; a suggested edit proposes a text change. Check its meaning and source support before accepting or rejecting. Resolve comments after handling their issues. Resolved status does not prove agreement. Tools display resolved comments differently.

Before publishing, preview the page. Use headings and short paragraphs to group related ideas. Check facts, spelling and source links. Check who can see it, and remove private details that should not be shared, including other people's details. Use images you made or have permission to use, with any required credit. Ask a trusted adult about sharing school work.

**Recap.** Use a suitable input method, check and credit sources, review feedback, and check the page and audience before publishing.
