We’ve captured some of the wonderful work that went on during National Digital Learning Week in Perth & Kinross. From early years through to the senior phase, young people are getting the opportunity to interact with learning using digital tools that are meaningful, relevant and engaging. We’ve made some films to give you a sense of the kinds of things that go on across our schools:
The National Digital Learning Week runs from 15-19 May with the theme of #DigitalDifference. Across Perth and Kinross Council(PKC) and nationally throughout the week, you’ll see people sharing and celebrating the digital approaches which make a positive impact on classroom practice.

You can also contact your Digital Learning and Teaching Officer, Michael Conlon, who could come and film some of your work for sharing: mconlon@pkc.gov.uk
