As the sun sets on the last full day of term, here is a wee view of (just some of) our year in numbers for academic session 2024 - 2025. The Digital Learning Team at have had brilliant time working with Falkirk schools, teachers and learners - we can't wait to do it all again next session! πβ¨
26.06.2025 15:23 β π 9 π 2 π¬ 1 π 1An excellent example of how pupil digital leaders can support 'The Churn'. Even better that the idea originated with a P6 who has been through the process! P6/P7 have such a wealth of knowledge to share with the P5 about to receive their devices, brilliant to see this shared and led by learners. π

Video, audio, text! Storytelling brought to life and expressed through a variety of modes all while honing those digital and creativity skills. This is β¨exactlyβ¨ what we love to see!
05.06.2025 15:31 β π 1 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0It's a P7 and P3 collab at @antonineps.bsky.social. Leaders clearly leading learning and sharing their knowledge within their learning community. Digital, social, communication and creativity skills all getting a healthy flex here too! π
05.06.2025 15:35 β π 5 π 2 π¬ 0 π 0'The Churn' is coming!!! β»οΈ Have you given your current P6 and P7 the chance to voice what they think might help their P5 pals when their iPad arrives in August? @stfrancisxaviers.bsky.social have been doing exactly that and getting their learners involved in this important annual process! π
05.06.2025 15:38 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0What a great range of digital tools to get some real multimodal, creative showcasing of learning happening. We have loved following the journey of @missdundas.bsky.social at @grangemouthhs.bsky.social - we look forward to seeing where you go with it!
05.06.2025 15:29 β π 2 π 1 π¬ 0 π 0Great stuff P6 - we're sure P5 will appreciate your advice and suggestions. We'd love to see your Padlet and get a look at what is on there! π

Brilliant start to DLLW25 today with Andy and Laura from Canopy. Lots of interest in Gemini (especially canvas) π― βthatβs one of the best things Iβve ever seen!β and NotebookLM π βI didnβt know we needed that until I saw itβ. The Knoster/King model also giving LOTS of food for thought! π
