The Fife Transforming Learning project has ensured that learners from P6 to S6 have access to a one to one device with the most up to date accessibility features. Many of these features will be vital in supporting our children with additional support needs, but many aspects may be useful for all learners… and even teachers!
To support the implementation of these digital strategies at the universal level, we have developed 4 learning units to complete with your whole class. Feel free to download and adapt them to your own setting, or just use them as they are. They cover what we feel would be the tools and approaches that are available for any learner (or teacher!) to use if and when appropriate.
Whilst these units focus entirely on iPads and iOS, a Windows version is being worked on and will follow in time.
Check Oracle regularly for professional learning sessions to support you in using the resource.
