Issue 4
Digital Twilights at USW
This week we saw the launch of our Digital Twilight sessions. These sessions are voluntary but are designed to give our students some additional time to look at digital technologies for their studies.
This week we looked at Digital Storytelling through the use of Story Dice and the apps Book Creator and Yakit Kids.
We also explored Showbie as a tool for storing and sharing work.

Mat Pullen
Mat has been looking at ways that digital technology can support and transform the learning process. In his Y2 sessions, students have been exploring ways to document progress of practical experiments using apps such as Seesaw, Book Creator and Explain Everything.

Digital Leader applications go live.
There is still time to apply to become a digital champion. You will receive some additional training and be provided with opportunities to develop your skills.
