Glow Connect have been producing a series on using AI in the classroom. This example from South Lanarkshire is all about using Adobe Express to develop essential digital skills – food for thought!
Aye Mind have produced a series looking at popular social media platforms which have useful conversation starters and additional support. This can be helpful for staff, pupils and parents.
Please see information below from Rebecca Gracher of Code Club:
I am the community coordinator for Code Club in Scotland. I hope you can help me promote a training opportunity we have for teachers in Scotland. We are hosting two one-day training sessions in early June, one in Glasgow and one in Dundee. The training is aimed at teachers who want to start a Code Club, but are unsure how to begin. Since the training falls on a school day, we are also offering bursaries of £150 to the school to help with the cost of cover.
The dates are:
Glasgow
Wednesday, 3 June
9.30am – 3.30pm
Dundee
Thursday, 4 June
9.30am – 3.30pm
All the details and link to sign up can be found on the event webpage.
For anyone who is still interested in participating in the Digital Educator Awards Scotland (DEAS) but couldn’t attend live, the recording and slides are now available on the DEAS website digitaleducatorawards.com.

Applicants will be guided through the programme by the DEAS team supported by your local authority. You can email info@digitaleducatorawards.com anytime with your questions.
Unfortunately, we had to cancel our Safer Schools Scotland webinar which would have shared all you needed to know to get started. Don’t worry, you can still use the Renfrewshire form to sign up first and secondly use their onboarding form.
