'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

The final day of DLLW25 was an absolute belter. Esteemed guests Steve Munby and Dan Fitzpatrick working with leaders and educators to explore possible futures and encourage progress over perfection. Strong messages and plenty of food for thought. 🧠💭

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! 💭
