Digital Leaders
At Kirby Hill C of E Primary School we have a student Digital Leadership team: The Digital Leaders.
Digital Leaders are children who are adept at using technology and are willing to share their knowledge and skills with others. Through working with staff and peers, Digital Leaders are able to help shape how technology is used in and outside of the classroom. They champion E-safety and are trained to share their knowledge with their class. Their main roles include:
* Supporting staff and other pupils with technology.
* Promoting e-safety.
* Promoting school events
* Advising staff on e-safety issues in the wider school environment such as social media and app usage.
* Testing out new equipment and resources.
* Improving their own understanding of technology and programmes.
* Sharing their knowledge and skills with others.
* Helping to shape the use of technology within school.
* Act as e-ambassadors.
* Working with Miss Welburn (Computing Co-ordinator) to report IT issues.
* Looking after technology in school and promoting a culture of respect towards technology
Benefits to the Children
* Develop skills when using technology.
* Develop leadership skills.
* Identify opportunities and overcome challenges with ICT.
* Teach staff and students across the school.
* Trial and evaluate new equipment and services.
* Work with Digital Leaders from other schools.
* Have a platform for expressing their ideas and opinions.
* Develop a growth mindset.
As well as on-going projects, each half-term will have a different focus. (Autumn 1= Online Safety, Autumn 2= Music Videos)
In addition to this, the digital leaders will hopefully participate in national digital initiatives (e.g. BBC School Report, BAFTA Young Game Designer).
