Digital Leaders

Our digital leaders are part of a team of pupils whose role is to support the use and further development of Computing within the school. They will develop confidence and leadership skills through this role, as well as take on new responsibilities and learn new skills.

Their job is to advocate for good behaviour with technology, especially through online safety, support teachers where possible, and showcase various digital skills. They will also be involved in training to further their own skills. The hope is that they will become an exemplar of what is achievable with technology and increase the impact of ICT/computing within the school.

Some of their current responsibilities:

• Demonstrating computer skills to children/parents/teachers
• Managing equipment, such as iPads and computer room devices
• Sharing online safety knowledge and advice
• Supporting other children in lessons
• Digital ambassadors promoting correct behaviour
• Creating digital displays
• Interviewing other children for pupil voice surveys
• Running computing club for KS1 pupils

Recent Projects:

Our digital leaders provide meaningful support for teachers and peers throughout our school. This term, they have been assisting children in P1-P3 during their computing lessons. Their roles have included technical support for our younger pupils on how to use a computer successfully and guidance in completing their Digital Presentation and Digital Art and Design tasks.

Future Projects:

• Creating videos and posters on how to stay safe when using technology and going online.
• Presenting their online safety work to year groups
• Collecting pupil's voice reponses on various topics
