It has been a full on term in our DigLearnRen community! Thank-you for all your support throughout the session so far.
In the final term we will be launching the new DigiLearnRen site and providing details of what is to come in the new session so watch this space for more information.
To end this term, we will share our Term 3 ThingLink Update which contains all the details of what has been happening this term. Please share with your colleagues.
Next session, the Digital Learning Team’s mission is to weave digital tools naturally through every area of the curriculum, making it an effortless and creative part of every school day.
To help your establishment, department or cluster achieve this, we are planning to introduce five key collegiate sessions, plus a bespoke session for our ELCCs. These 1.5 hour sessions are designed to be booked as part of your collegiate calendars, allowing for dedicated, collaborative time to support your digital goals. Our approach is device-agnostic, ensuring every establishment can participate and thrive, regardless of the technology you have in your classrooms.
While our collegiate sessions focus on team growth, we know that individual inspiration is just as important. That’s why these will be offered alongside our Spotlight Sessions, which will be run in collaboration with our Digital Partners. These are standalone opportunities where individuals can sign up to explore specific interests and develop their own unique professional learning journeys, which, in turn, can feed into your improvement journey.
We want to ensure our new Collegiate Sessions and Spotlight Sessions truly meet the needs of your staff and learners.
Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on this new approach. Your feedback will directly shape our final catalogue for the upcoming session.
Let’s transform to innovate, together.
