Last week the Digital Leaders took the Community IPads out into Clackmannan to take photographs of local landmarks. After a lovely walk in the sunshine we visited the Tower, Stone of Mannan, the church and the park. The aim was to improve our skills and confidence when using the iPads outside. Watch this space for more exciting news from the Digital Leaders

Over the last 3 weeks the digital leaders have been busy teaching the pupils of P1-3 about Internet safety using the CEOP Think you know resources. Each week they show the younger pupils one of the Hectors World videos and stress the main points of the show. Points tackled so far:
Don’t share personal information
If in doubt ask an adult
Don’t talk to strangers online
Get parents to check what you are doing online
With 3 weeks left of the block the feedback from the younger pupils is great.

A very successful first training session. We looked at the different hardware we would need to become familiar with.

Here are some of them:

projector

processor

amplifier

keyboard

mouse

monitor

speakers

We briefly looked at the desktop and its icons too!

Next time we are going to see what all the hardware does and how it works in the IT suite.
