Learner choices

Target/codes: recognise hardware/software and explore a real locally approved offline system for a purpose if actually used; represent Source A data across views; AC9TDIFK01 (conditional), AC9TDIFK02 (partial). Prepare: hardware/software card, paper three-way mat, optional offline switcher.

  1. Preview · 3 min. State two routes: full paper work or school-approved actual device. No account, upload or personal value.
  2. Notice · 4 min. Point to the printed keyboard/screen/application drawing; ask which parts a person can touch/see and what task the example app is for. A paper answer samples recognition only.
  3. Model · 5 min. Switch fictional B B C from picture to symbol on paper. On approved hardware only, open the offline app and model one keyboard Tab/Enter choice. Explain that a real input/display and running software make the system.
  4. Child route · 7 min. Day 3 A/B/C perform the same representation change on paper; an opt-in approved device route lets the child actually choose a view and identify or point to input, display and purpose. Record who controlled the action.
  5. Check/respond · 4 min. Ask “What changed on the screen/page? What stayed the same?” If an actual device was used, record hardware/software/purpose evidence separately. Clicking alone is not full K01 evidence.
  6. Close · 2 min. Let child pass on device use without penalty; mark digital exploration not observed if paper only.
