'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!

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! 🌟
Thank you P7s for helping us to add pictures & text to our keynote presentations! @antomrsmcguire.bsky.social @connectedfalk.bsky.social #antoSTEM 👫📱🤩📱👫

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

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 📱’ 🙌✨

Brilliant start to DLLW25 today with Andy and Laura from Canopy. Lots of interest in Gemini (especially canvas) 😯 ‘that’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen!’ and NotebookLM 👀 ‘I didn’t know we needed that until I saw it’. The Knoster/King model also giving LOTS of food for thought! 💭
