Digital learning is an important part of learning at Abronhill Primary School. We use digital tools to support teaching, learning and assessment, helping children to engage with their learning in a range of ways.
Staff make effective use of digital technology in the classroom, including Promethean boards, iPads and laptops, to support learning across the curriculum. Children have opportunities to use digital tools to create, present and share their learning.
We continue to build our digital resources over time, ensuring children have increasing access to technology to support their learning.
🧑💻 Our approach
At Abronhill, digital learning supports:
- learning and teaching across the curriculum
- assessment and feedback
- inclusion, through flexible ways to access and demonstrate learning
- the development of digital skills for learning, life and work
We are supported by a member of staff leading digital learning across the school and are beginning to develop opportunities for children to take on digital leadership roles.
🔄 Developing digital learning
We are continuing to develop and refine our approach to digital learning as part of our 3-year curriculum improvement cycle.
This includes:
- improving consistency in how digital tools are used across the school
- developing digital skills progressively across stages
- working towards the Digital Schools Award
This is part of our ongoing work to improve learning and teaching.
🌐 Online safety
We place a strong emphasis on supporting children to use technology safely and responsibly.
We recognise that many children access digital platforms and social media outwith school, and may encounter content or situations they do not fully understand.
Through learning in school, we support children to:
- understand how to stay safe online
- make responsible choices when using technology
- know what to do if something worries them
We encourage families to continue these conversations at home and to support children in using technology safely.
🏠 Supporting digital learning at home
We use digital platforms such as Glow and Microsoft Teams to support learning both in school and at home.
👉 Access support for Glow and Teams
If you need help accessing these, please contact the school, we are happy to support.
