Description
How to Teach Using Digital Tools
Today’s young writers draft, edit, and share their work on screens as often as on paper. The I Can Use Digital Tools Worksheet helps 2nd grade students build the basic computer skills they need to produce and publish their writing, from logging in and using a mouse to adding a picture, saving a file, and printing a finished story. Naming each skill in kid-friendly “I can” language lets children see exactly what they can already do and what comes next.
About This Worksheet
This digital tools writing log lists eight everyday computer skills, each written as a short “I can” statement. Every time a student tries a skill while writing on a computer, they record the date and the name of the story or topic they were working on. Keep the I Can Use Digital Tools Worksheet in a writing folder or near the classroom computers so students can add to it across several weeks. Because every response is the child’s own, the sheet is a single open-ended page.
What’s Included
- A one-page log with eight “I can” digital skill statements
- Roomy Date and My Story or Topic columns sized for 2nd grade handwriting
- Clear two-sentence directions students can read on their own
Why It Helps Kids
- It turns abstract technology goals into concrete, checkable steps.
- It connects computer skills to real writing, so each skill has a purpose.
- It builds independence and pride as students watch their log fill up.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Model one skill at a time during a mini-lesson, then let students practice it while they type a short story. At home, parents can sit beside their child for a few minutes of typing and help them fill in a new row. Use the finished log during conferences to celebrate growth and set the next goal.
