Mr Short @falkirkhighschool.bsky.social and his class have been busy exploring addition reactions - a great way to break down complex ideas into simple, visual steps. Hands-on, creative, and engaging to make that knowledge super sticky!

As the sun sets on the last full day of term, here is a wee view of (just some of) our year in numbers for academic session 2024 - 2025. The Digital Learning Team at have had brilliant time working with Falkirk schools, teachers and learners - we can't wait to do it all again next session! 🙌✨

An excellent example of how pupil digital leaders can support 'The Churn'. Even better that the idea originated with a P6 who has been through the process! P6/P7 have such a wealth of knowledge to share with the P5 about to receive their devices, brilliant to see this shared and led by learners. 🙌
P5/P6 transition ahead of the @connectedfalk.bsky.social CHURN ♻️ Idea from a P6 Digital Leader at end of term 1 after going through it herself, wanting to better equip younger peers. She spoke to classmates & they planned 2 lessons on key skills. They used ConnectedFalkirk colours to stay on brand.
Today, P6 R15 visited P5 ahead of the CHURN in Aug, when P5s get 1:1 devices! ✨P6 created & led themed sessions, teaching key skills like screenshot, split screen, markup, Notes app, AirDrop, Microsoft Word tools &more! All through 2 fun, interactive sessions! 👏🏼🍎📲

Excellent work from P7 all over Falkirk over the past seven days. Onwards to secondary school! 🍀
'The Churn' 2024/25 is ✨COMPLETE✨! A huge thank you to all of our Falkirk P7s and their teachers for their hard work preparing and taking care of their devices for the new owners! We love having you as part of the Connected Falkirk Team for the day. Wishing you ALL the best for your S1 adventure! 🙌

Video, audio, text! Storytelling brought to life and expressed through a variety of modes all while honing those digital and creativity skills. This is ✨exactly✨ what we love to see!
S1 have been demonstrating their literacy and digital skills at the end of our storytelling block. They selected a digital tool to demonstrate their learning and creativity. Great work

It's a P7 and P3 collab at @antonineps.bsky.social. Leaders clearly leading learning and sharing their knowledge within their learning community. Digital, social, communication and creativity skills all getting a healthy flex here too! 🌟

'The Churn' is coming!!! ♻️ Have you given your current P6 and P7 the chance to voice what they think might help their P5 pals when their iPad arrives in August? @stfrancisxaviers.bsky.social have been doing exactly that and getting their learners involved in this important annual process! 🙌
Room 15 are working hard to think of activities that will support our P5s to learn digital iPad skills before they get their 1:1 @connectedfalk.bsky.social device in P6. We used padlet to gather skills that might be needed!

What a great range of digital tools to get some real multimodal, creative showcasing of learning happening. We have loved following the journey of @missdundas.bsky.social at @grangemouthhs.bsky.social - we look forward to seeing where you go with it!
We’ve enjoyed using our iPads this year to support our learning and creativity. Our favourites are Pages, Freeform, Clips and video.
We’re looking forward to learning more next year.

Woohoo! Great work from P6 at @stfrancisxaviers.bsky.social, enabling helpful use of learner voice when it comes to advice and suggestions for their peers ahead of 'The Churn'!

Day 2 of DLLW25 with Laura from Canopy and a fabulous group of educators from ELC to Secondary exploring getting the most from Google on iPad! Gemini was popular again and the accessibility features were a real wow moment.

Fave quote of the day? ‘Learning happens up here 🧠, not down there 📱’ 🙌✨
