St. Francis Xavier’s Digital Dream Team

A fab tool that we loved trying today. The kids engagement with this was through the roof and they used a success criteria which we made together to select the best answer! Interactive, meaningful, educational and engaging. We will be using “Frankenstories” again! ✨

Our annual “logo” competition is underway. It’s always really hard to judge because the pupil’s work is so good! We had some collaborative ‘share and explore’ time during our meetings to explore Canva and Adobe and share what we know with each other ahead of creating our posters.⭐️✨⭐️

Click the picture to see what we have got up to in Term 1. A busy term and we have already got started with our ICT IPad support times during class ICT IPad times. We love supporting our school community & dedicate some of our lunches to training! Superstars ✨⭐️✨

Wow! I love your use of the markup tool on the notes app, superstars! ✨

One of our “Accessibility Aces” worked with one of our younger learners today to continue exploring accessibility features of the IPad. We even got videoed for @connectedfalk.bsky.social 🤩 We will be getting videoed later this week with our Code Club and Micro:bits with P3 & P7 learners ✨

Massively overwhelmed today with the interest in St.FX Code Club 2025:2026. I’ll have a think about how we can keep you all involved this year. Even if it’s our more advanced P7 coders putting on sessions for beginner & middle coders. I did not anticipate such interest but it is amazing!Well done!🌟

To our Code Club and Digital Dream Team. Thank you for all your hard work. You’ve achieved so much this year and made such an impact on our school community. I’m proud of you all. Have a fun, safe and restful break. See you in August! Miss C x

As part of our Natural Disaster STEM topic we learned about volcanoes. We did an experiment & learned about the science behind it. Some of us recorded using slow motion on our iPads to make it easier to understand!🌋🧑🏻‍🔬👩🏼‍🔬 www.museums.cam.ac.uk/sites/defaul... ⬅️ 🔗 to see the science behind it, or ask us!

P5/P6 transition ahead of the @connectedfalk.bsky.social CHURN ♻️ Idea from a P6 Digital Leader at end of term 1 after going through it herself, wanting to better equip younger peers. She spoke to classmates & they planned 2 lessons on key skills. They used ConnectedFalkirk colours to stay on brand.

🎉 Big news! Rayo from the University of Edinburgh visited our Digital Leaders—now we’re part of an international research project on AI in education! 🌍💡
We’re the only extracurricular group involved.
Exciting times ahead! #AIinEducation #EdTech @rayo.dev Have a look here! rayo.dev/designing-fu...

What a great way to show off your number learning, P5! Loving the use of our school iPads and your 1:5 class devices 🌟👏🏼🤩

Phenomenal work, blown away by your keynote skills. Super stars! Well done to our digital leaders too for supporting with this 🌟👏🏼🤩

Amazing! I loved seeing this, I wonder if some of our digital leaders could make you some QR codes for the games so you can play them on your 1:5 devices as fast finisher tasks 🌟👏🏼🤩

Wow! Impressive work, P2. I love how you’ve used your camera on the iPad and markup tool. 🌟👏🏼

This was absolutely wonderful. Big up the Digi Dream Team. Each and every one of you were a credit to your group, your school and yourselves.

Loving this pedagogy pioneering. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills 👍

Loved this super simple yet effective idea for a QR display in @stfrancisp6.bsky.social! As an extension, learners scan to access a Blooket focused on practicing whichever times table they want to work on. Independent and interactive with pupil choice and reflection on learning and progress. 👌🧮✨

Our digital leaders were phenomenal this evening presenting at #L2AFest25 They showcased their Digital Leadership, skills and knowledge and discussed the impact they have on our school community! @fcqiteam.bsky.social Thanks to all involved.
