Class 2 Skills Practice
Practice the ideas from Class 2 on a generic practice phone. Nothing on this page changes your real phone.
Quick Settings and Settings
Practice the swipe-down area and find the Settings gear.
You have a new message.
Your task
Try swiping downward inside the practice phone. If that is awkward with a mouse or touchpad, use the button below.
Quick Settings comes down from the top of the screen. The Settings symbol usually looks like a gear.
Make the Display Comfortable
Brightness, font size, and display size do different jobs.
Move the slider and watch the practice screen get darker or brighter.
Sample text
Your task
Font size mostly changes words. Display size changes more things on the screen.
What Phone Do I Have?
Practice reading the useful information without copying device identifiers.
Your task
Select all four choices one at a time. The practice account is fictional.
Work With Notifications
Open one notification and dismiss another.
Messages
Alex: See you at 2:00.
Weather
Rain may begin this afternoon.
The original message is still here even though the notification can later be dismissed.
Your task
Tap Open for Messages. For Weather, try swiping the notification sideways. The Dismiss button remains as a fallback.
Tip: start your swipe inside the Weather notification, not on the webpage beside it.
Opening and dismissing are different actions. Dismissing the notice usually does not delete the message or event behind it.
Find the Volume Controls
Use the rocker, then open the separate volume controls.
Your task
The control for “more” may look different on a real phone—three dots, an arrow, sliders, or another small button.
Think of the rocker like a see-saw: upper end louder, lower end quieter.
Use Settings Search
Find lock-screen notification controls without memorizing a long menu path.
Your task
Real phones may use different wording. The important skill is knowing that Settings Search can help you find the control.
Type what you are looking for instead of trying to remember where the manufacturer placed it.
Make and Remove a Folder
Practice organizing the Home screen without uninstalling the apps.
Your task
On a real Android phone, you normally create a folder by dragging one app icon onto another. This click-based version practices the idea without requiring drag-and-drop.
All 7 Class 2 skills practiced
You have worked through a generic version of the main Class 2 skills. Your own phone may use different words or put controls in different places.
This practice page is review. It does not replace working with your own phone during the Class 2 lab.
