Word processor in the browser
Word processing is part of the Polish computer science curriculum from grade 4 to high school: first paragraphs, lists and tables, then a longer document with a header and footer, and in secondary school a document with a complex structure, tables of contents and footnotes. In BitWizards the editor runs in the browser: heading styles, fonts and colours, lists, tables, images and shapes, A4 pages with a header, footer and page numbers, tables of contents, figures and tables, captions, footnotes and columns. A .docx file can be imported and downloaded, so the work is not locked inside the platform.
Primary school course - High school and technical school course (both in Polish)
Two courses following the core curriculum
Primary school (grades 4-8, 9 topics): a first document with paragraphs and a heading, font, size and alignment, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, a greeting card and a poster with an image, a project description, a template with fields to fill in and a longer document on several pages with a header and footer.
High school and technical school (9 topics): heading styles and document structure, a table of contents, captions and lists of figures and tables, footnotes, columns, page breaks with a header, footer and numbering, a document on a computer science topic, a letter template and exchanging documents with an office suite through .docx and PDF files.
Checking that sees the structure
A document that only looks right is not always built right: a bold paragraph is not a heading, and a table of contents typed by hand will not update when the text changes. The tasks check:
- headings of the given level, lists and tables of the given size,
- emphasis (bold, italic, underline) and alignment of the given text,
- images, shapes, filled template fields and the word count,
- a table of contents, figures or tables, captions, footnotes, columns, a page break, the header, footer and page numbers.
The task is marked as done automatically once the document meets every condition.
For teachers
- Own tasks: the starting document is laid out in the editor itself, and checks are picked from a list and tried right away on the model solution.
- Student work history: how the document was written, with a view of it at any moment, plus a live view during the lesson.
- My documents: students’ and teachers’ own documents outside the courses, with
.docximport and export.
