Safer Internet Day 2024

Leave a reply

As part of Safer Internet Day our Digital Leaders delivered presentations to all our children at Toronto, from Nursery right through to P7.

They shared information and knowledge around the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people, with the the theme for this year of ‘Inspiring change? Making a difference, managing influence and navigating change online’. The team enjoyed delivering these presentations to the classes and also hosted quizzes for our older classes and read stories relating to this theme to our younger children.

One of our Primary 7 pupils has been working really hard to provide some important information on how to stay safe online and proudly shared her leaflet detailing some great advice. Our Digital Leaders would like to use this fabulous piece of work to display in all classes and share with our families at home. Well done!

Terrific Toronto Teachers

Our Toronto staff have been taking part in a variety of sessions, including online learning, to develop their knowledge and skills in using some of our digital resources.

In our latest session they have been refreshing their knowledge of Education City. This website is an active and engaging resource we use in class to support our pupils’ learning.

Toronto’s Digital Leaders also attended this learning session and are confident in supporting our pupils, and our staff, in the use of this fab resource. What super team work at Toronto!

Safer Internet Day

Leave a reply

Tuesday was Safer Internet Day, and here at Toronto all classes took part in lessons and activities in which we were able to develop our knowledge.

Our DIgital Leaders worked with a variety of classes on a social media quiz, identifying the age individuals must be engage with a variety of social media. We were surprised by some of the age limits on these, particularly YouTube!

As the Digital Leaders were working in classes, the theme of consent and permission was a hot topic and children were able to discuss their thoughts and give opinions on this and how we can keep ourselves and others safe online.

Digital Leaders – Teacher Training

Leave a reply

Our amazing Digital Leaders have been working hard in school to develop our use of ICT. One aspect of this development is to ensure that staff are confident in using the hardware and software with the children. Our Digital Leaders have been hosting some after school sessions on some programmes that staff may find beneficial to pupils’ learning. We have delivered sessions over the course of this term on Imovie, Scratch, Word Clouds, Quiver, Sway and Didbook. We have even been into classes to support the teachers and pupils in using these.
