Session 35: Skills Lab 4: Connected & Safe

Welcome to your fourth Skills Lab! There is nothing new to learn today. Instead, you will prove what you can already do. You will design, share, plan and protect, just like a real digital worker, at four timed stations. Finish them all and pass the typing check, and you earn your Silver Passport 🥈.

1. How a Skills Lab Works

1. Typing check first

Do the 3-minute typing check in the typing trainer and record your result below.

2. Four stations

Each page (2–5) is one station with a task and a time limit. Work alone unless the station says "pair". Try it first without the hints.

3. Mentor check

When you finish, put your hand up. Your mentor ticks the checklist and initials it. Be honest: an unticked box is not a failure, it's your next practice target.

4. Fix and re-try

At the end, go back to any station you didn't finish. Use the hints this time. Then fill in your score sheet on Page 6.

2. Typing Check: Silver Target 25 wpm at 92% Accuracy

Station	Skill	Learnt in

4	Share safely, check a viral post, protect P.I.I.	Sessions 29, 33 and 34

💡 SKILLS LAB TIPS

Read the whole brief before you click anything. Watch the clock, but accuracy beats speed. Use the Feed Check and Club Planner 3D labs on your session page to warm up while you wait for a station.

Station 1: The Open Day Poster

Session 35 • Page 2

⏱ Time limit

20 minutes

🧰 You need

Canva (signed in with the Hub's learning account) and the Open Day details card on your desk.

1. Your Brief

📋 FROM THE CLUB LEADER

"We need a poster for the BIH Tech Club Open Day. It must show the event name, the date, time and place from the details card, one sentence inviting families, and one picture. People must be able to read it from across the room. Please download it so we can print it."

2. Re-try Hints (use only if you get stuck)

1

On the Canva home page, search for Poster and choose a portrait poster template (or a blank poster).

2

Click each text box and replace the sample text with the details from the card. Make the event name the biggest text.

3

Use Elements (or Photos) in Canva's side panel to add one picture. Check the contrast: dark text on a light background, or light on dark.

4

Rename the design at the top: TechClub_OpenDayPoster_[YourName]. Then Share → Download, choose PNG and click Download. Find it in your Downloads folder.

3. Mentor Checklist

Check	✔
Event name, date, time and place are all correct (matching the card)
The event name is the biggest text; there are no more than 2–3 fonts
Strong contrast: readable from across the room
One picture from Canva's library (no copied pictures, no faces of real pupils)
Named TechClub_OpenDayPoster_[YourName] and downloaded as PNG (found in Downloads)
No spelling mistakes

Station 2: The Shared Programme (Pair)

Session 35 • Page 3

⏱ Time limit

20 minutes, working in a pair on two computers

🧰 You need

The shared Google Doc OpenDay_Programme_Team[number], which your mentor has shared with both of you as Editors.

1. Your Brief

📋 FROM THE CLUB LEADER

"The Open Day programme is half written. Partner A: add a section called Robot Corner with two sentences. Partner B: add a section called Typing Race with two sentences. Then each of you leaves one helpful comment on your partner's section, using a comment frame. Fix what your partner suggests and resolve their comment. Last, find out when the document was first created."

2. Re-try Hints

1

Open the document from the link (or Google Drive → Shared with me). Look for your partner's coloured cursor: you are both in the same live file.

2

Type your heading and apply Heading 2 so it matches the others. Write two sentences under it.

3

Select a word in your partner's section, press Ctrl + Alt + M (or the comment button), and start with "I understood…", "One question I have is…" or "One helpful suggestion is…". Click Comment.

4

Make the fix your partner suggested, then click the ✓ (Resolve) on their comment. For the date: File → Version history → See version history and scroll to the bottom.

3. Record and Mentor Checklist

The document was first created on (date and time):

1. Your Brief

📋 FROM THE CLUB LEADER

"Please set up our planning meeting. Make a cloud folder for the Open Day, put the poster in it, and share the folder with me so I can view it. Then invite me to a 30-minute video meeting next Wednesday at 4:00 pm called Open Day Planning, with the folder link in the invitation so I can find the files."

Station 4: The Safety Triple

Session 35 • Page 5

⏱ Time limit

15 minutes for all three parts

🧰 You need

This page, a pen, and Google Drive for part A. Hints: T.H.I.N.K. and P.I.I. (Session 33), W.A.I.T. (Session 34).

A. Right Permission, Right Person

Choose Viewer, Commenter or Editor for each person. Then do the first one for real in Drive with your poster file, sharing it with your Station 2 partner.

Who needs your poster?	Permission
Your teammate, who should only suggest changes, not make them
Your teammate who is the Designer and will fix the layout
The whole school, who only need to read it

B. W.A.I.T.: Share or Not?

📲 From the page "Edu Ghana Gifts" (created 3 days ago)

"🎁 FREE LAPTOPS for every JHS pupil! 10,000 laptops to give away. Register now at free-laptops-gh.xyz with your name, school and your parent's MoMo number. Offer ends TONIGHT!!! Share with all your friends!"

Two W.A.I.T. warning signs:

My decision and what I would do:

C. Profile Sanitiser

Akosua wants to post this on a club website. Strike out (or highlight) every piece of P.I.I., then rewrite a safe version.

"Hi! I'm Akosua Owusu, I'm 12 and in JHS 1 at Bozoma Model JHS. I live in House 17 behind the big mango tree on Ring Road. Every Saturday at 7 am I sell bread with my auntie at Kaneshie market. Call me on 055 000 1234! I love drawing, netball and jollof, and my dog is called Bingo (that's my password too 😄). One day I want to be an architect."

My safe version:

Mentor check	✔
A: all three permissions correct, and the poster really shared with the partner as Commenter
B: two correct warning signs, and the decision is "don't share, report"
C: every piece of P.I.I. found; the safe version keeps only safe facts
