Chromebook Pilot Project

By Erin and Hibba

Digital Leaders

In Primary 5/6 and Primary 6W have recently been practicing using Chromebooks in daily school life.

This has been helping by improving our productiveness, and independence for we are able to research to our hearts desire.

We have been in tailored lessons for this resource, to improve our technological skills. We are soon planning a digital art lesson using our Chromebooks. Furthermore, we have been introduced to new apps and websites, which has extended our knowledge. Most importantly, we have been taught valuable lessons on how to look after things.

Soon after the Easter holidays if the permission form was signed, we will be able to take them home to do further homework and classwork for those who don’t have access to technology.

Thank you to Galston Parent Council for organising our spring fling discos last night (20th March).

The DJ was great and the children enjoyed the dancing, the games and the colouring. Combined together, all of these elements meant that the children had a great time.

Thank you to all of the adults who helped out on the night.
