Organiser – Digital Literacy • Identifies and saves in a range of standard file formats

• Saves files using an organised filing system.

• Stores, shares and collaborates using an online cloud based service for example, Glow or other platforms

• Identifies the key features of input, output and storage devices.

• Selects and use applications and software to capture, create and modify text, images, sound and video.

• Selects the most appropriate digital software to perform a task.

Using digital products and services in a variety of contexts to achieve a purposeful outcome

I can extend and enhance my knowledge of digital technologies to collect, analyse ideas, relevant information and organise these in an appropriate way

Make informed decisions about how and where to file my documents so that I can retrieve/share these efficiently

From Education Scotland National Improvement Hub “What digital learning might look like”:

* “When learning about Literacy & English learners might:

* Create a range of texts that are increasingly collaborative and multi-modal, for example: writing and recording a song with metaphors and similes or creating a podcast for World Book Day with an app such as GarageBand; creating and publishing a book about Rabbie Burns for Scots Language Week using an app such as Book Creator online

* Record and use increasingly accurate data from apps, such as Google Science Journal, to measure the exact amount of light that a plant receives during the day or acceleration and speed of their K’nex model car – this data can then be included in reports, perhaps as a graph or chart

* Produce short films, whether live-action or animated. These films will include all the elements of writing, such as setting, characters, dialogue and plot – this will be demonstrated through an increasing understanding and application of sounds used, editing,pacing and scenes/shots. Learners will make links to the job roles involved in digital film making, for example: producer, director, photographer, digital effects artist, animator, sound engineer

* Demonstrate their comprehension by creating a quiz about their reading book using online Forms curate a journal to keep a record of learning new concepts and/or revision, such as with ePortfolios or Microsoft OneNote

Change file formats to make these easier to share/access

Save documents in formats which suit their purpose
Create a document in a cloud (Office 365 e.g. Word Online through Glow) & invite a partner to collaborate at the same time. Create a document in a cloud Office 365 e.g. Word Online through Glow & invite a partner to collaborate at home or at different times Create a document in a cloud Office 365 e.g. Word Online through Glow & invite several partners to collaborate at different times.

From Education Scotland National Improvement Hub “What digital learning might look like”:

When learning about Social Studies learners might:

* Use an online storage and collaboration space, such as Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams, to access learning, complete tasks and receive feedback

* Use an online map, such as Google Map, to plan or research a school trip. They will be able to calculate large areas, identify the distance and estimated time and propose a method of travel

* Create graphs from surveys about relevant real-life contexts, such as ‘Cycle to School’ using software such as Numbers, Excel or Sheets. They will then demonstrate their understanding of the data by selecting the most appropriate graph for the gathered data, and collaborate digitally to analyse next steps, or make recommendations based on the data, for example: “We should have more oranges available at lunch time as they were the most popular fruit in our survey.”


* Organise photos and videos in an app, library or folder to demonstrate understanding of topic, such as Plants in Our Local Area

* Explore different roles that people play by playing simulation games, such as the Be an MP for a Week UK Parliament website

* Make use of digital connectivity with apps, such as Skype, to connect with a real/relevant audience such as learners and experts from across Scotland and around the world, to discuss and share topical ideas and potentially solve problems, such as those relating to climate, environment and culture”
