We recapped on achievements so far this term.  Then the digital leaders discussed Term 3 activities which will focus on being a positive and responsible Digital Citizen.  We talked about linking our school values to the digital world we use.

Areas we want to explore and discuss next term include

• Safer Internet Day Assembly
• permissions and family agreements
• thinking wisely about our choices when using digital technology
• what is a digital footprint?
• tools to help us be safe online
• looking after equipment properly
• efficient research skills
• discover useful apps

We finished the meeting with Innes showing us Flipaclip ~ an animation app.

9/10/19  Katie, Kate and Bhavya showed us how to use Chrome Canvas.  We explored this app ready to share with our own classes.

We looked at DigiDuck’s big decision ~ an e~story about sharing images.   We discussed importance of consent when sharing images.  We will share this story with our own classes in Term 2.  P5/6 pupils demonstrated Google Slides to P1-4 pupils. We explored the ‘Share’ button to show how we can work together on a document. Kate introduced ‘Interland’ to the P7 committee members to then share with the P7 class this term and P5/6 in Term 2.
