Digital Learning

Digital learning is any type of learning that makes effective use

• f technology to strengthen a student’s learning experience.

It provides access to challenging content and opportunities for learning anytime, anywhere. Digital learning can allow for more creativity, problem solving and critical thinking.

a group set of iPads that are used appropriately to support learning in creative ways.

Digital Learning and the Curriculum

At Oryx School we include technology in

• ur lessons by using a teaching method

called ‘Blended Learning’. Children, in some lessons, take part in activities where they will be taught a method by their teacher, complete an

• Knows that information can be retrieved from computers
• Knows how to operate simple equipment

KS1 Computing Curriculum

By the end of KS1

Computer Science – create and debug simple programs, use logical reasoning to explain how simple algorithms work Information Technology – using technology purposefully to create,

• rganise, store, manipulate and retrieve digital content

Digital Literacy – using technology safely and respectfully, evaluating digital content, recognising acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, knowing where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content This is covered in a balanced, stimulating and creative way through blended learning.

KS1 Technology

Websites for e-learning in school and at home

Bug Club

Bug club is available as a website or as an app on iPad and android tablets. It supports progress in reading. Active learn is a website that we use to help us with Maths and English.

ActiveLearn

Purple Mash is a platform to learn in a fun and interesting way, there are many subjects on the website to help us develop

• ur digital skills.

Purple Mash

Education city is a learning platform that we use for Maths, English, Science and Computing.

Education City

Mathetics is a learning platform that Year 1 and 2 use. It presents a variety of maths games in a fun way. When we complete

• ur work, we receive points to get a
• certificate. This motivates us to get better

at Maths and develops our mental maths and problem solving skills.

Mathletics Teach Your Monster to Read

It is an award winning phonics and reading game that makes learning to read appealing and fun.

Home Learning

Home learning is not given to students in FS1. Access to technology in class is closely monitored to ensure children receive a variety of activities to develop their motor skills, social skills and speaking and listening skills. All children should have their logins either written or stuck into their homework diaries so that they are easily accessible. Home learning assignments are set by class teachers and are as important to complete as paper assignments.

After School Activities

KS1 Technology Club – using iPads to be creative and develop computational thinking. Coding club.

‘Computational thinking’ is a skill children must be taught if they are to be ready for the workplace and able to participate effectively in the digital world.

How to stay safe online

Never share passwords

Don’t write them down where they can be easily found and read. Try to memorise them. Make them complex and change them regularly.

Be kind to others

Be aware of what cyber bullying is and that you must tell someone you trust if you or a friend has received unkind messages online.

Be careful what you share

Do not share personal information about where you live or where you go to

• school. Never meet up with

strangers you may have spoken to online. Make sure parents know what games or websites you are on.

Talk about it

If you see something

• nline that makes you

upset or uncomfortable, tell a trusted adult.

Digital Limiter – severely limits screen time and closely monitors content children exposed to Digital Enabler – gives complete freedom to access devices and the internet Digital Mentor – plays an active role in shaping your child to be a digital citizen. Guide them in use of digital

• media. Help them to develop critical thinking about

what they see online and how to behave online.

1

Students taught about online safety at regular intervals in their computing lessons, through PSHE lessons and special events – Safer Internet Day. Parents attending digital online safety workshops to support their child at home

2

Students are confident in using a range of websites and educational apps to create their

• wn content. They are confident in how to

stay safe online and how to find trustworthy information online. Parents become digital mentors, playing an active role in supporting their children to become digital citizens.

Take-off

• ff

Teachers’ own confidence and ability in using new technologies increases through support from digital lead, staff meetings and time to share ideas and successes in year groups. Parents may be aware of what children access on line and on digital devices. Students are motivated to take their knowledge further and learn more that they can use in school and for home learning. The Sky is the Limit

We are all co-pilots on a digital journey together.
