ICT Self-Evaluation Toolkit
‘The effective and appropriate use of ICT, both in the classroom and beyond, can significantly enhance the learning experience. By embedding ICT in all curricular areas, learners will benefit from greater personalisation and choice, resulting in improved engagement and outcomes.’ (The Edinburgh ICT Self-Evaluation Framework, Jan. 2012)
This toolkit has been designed for schools to use as an audit tool for the delivery of ICT, benchmarking the quality of the school’s use of ICT in a structured way. This will allow schools to engage in professional dialogue to identify action points in order to embed ICT throughout the curriculum. It has been based on the Edinburgh ICT Self-Evaluation Framework, Jan. 2012 and takes into account the Argyll and Bute Learning Technologies Action Plan, 2013

Digital Skills Day-level one
We have been working to provide a resource for our schools which will address the issue of providing our pupils with appropriate digital skills and will ensure progression across levels. Although we have established these skills from early level through to third level, we would like to focus on Level 1 for this session. This day will give staff the training to deliver these skills and some ideas for incorporating the skills in their practice. The day is aimed at any staff who wish to make a start on ensuring our pupils have these appropriate skills and is not specific to Mac or PC.
The date is 8th May, in ICC, Inveraray and will run from 10am until 1pm.
