Digital Visits 24/25
Following on from “Planning your school’s digital strategy” professional learning sessions and a survey about sharing practice, we visited 8 schools this year. The purpose was to discuss the next steps in planning their digital strategy and/or a change they had made to their digital practice which had impacted positively on learners.
In some, we had a discussion and provided them further documentation that would support them. In others, we discussed the impact and produced a report. Below I have attached some useful documents along with the reports. You can read these reports for yourself and hopefully it will help you to be inspired.
