February 2020 – Whinhill Digital Leaders

Last week was Cyber Scotland Week 2020. This was the perfect opportunity for our pupils to learn about staying safe online.

At the start of the week we visited all the classes to let them know, and asked teachers to plan a lesson for their class.

We revisited them this week, and we created a video to show all the things we learned!

What do you think?

Look at the fantastic video our Digital Leaders made showing what our pupils learned during Cyber Week Scotland! We know we need to stay safe online!💻 #WhinhillDigitalLearners #cyberscotweek2020 @WhinhillPS @MrsSWhinhill pic.twitter.com/0b6tWOp7Ch

Hi everyone, we are the Digital Leaders at Whinhill Primary School in Greenock. We are starting this blog as a way of sharing our Whinhill Digital journey.

We have created a wall display outside the computer suite to let everyone know who we are and what we do. We will also be writing blog posts on here to share all the wonderful ways we use digital technologies at Whinhill. As digital leaders it is our job to help pupils and teachers access and use the wide range of resources available.

We started our journey by creating a survey for staff and pupils to find out how they used technology in school and what they would like us to help them develop. We used this survey to create an action plan which will also help us to achieve our Digital Schools Award. We can’t wait to show you how we, as digital leaders, are helping everyone be #WhinhillDigitalLearners!
