Does this programme, or one like it, have the potential to boost the achievement of students attending: a) Schools without a strong digital focus? b) Secondary schools/Colleges? c) Rural schools? d) Y
Why? Why not?
If you were asked to design a digital blogging programme for your students, what theme would you choose? What kind of activities would your students would most enjoy? (E.g. creative writing, poetry, etc)
We will continue to do what we can to help our students realise their full potential through improved access to, and participation in, literacy learning
We will get there… One step at a time.
