P7 at Bridgend Primary School in West Lothian are helping their buddies in P1/2 to develop their ICT skills. Every week after they have read to each other P7 focus on a skill to teach the P1/2’s. The types of skills being covered are adding photos, accessing the internet and logging on to the different devices we have.
Bridgend Primary School in West Lothian held a Technologies Information Evening to showcase how we use technologies throughout the school and across all curricular areas. Pupils from P1 to P7 led workshops on the following:
*Using the iPads: Creativity and Innovation
*Our Digital Future and Lifelong Learning
*Glow: A tool to enhance teaching and learning
*Laptops, cameras and flipcams: The Learning Potential
