A child’s plan on A4 paper for repurposing wind turbines. It includes a drawing of a car and some text.

We took our digital leaders to the Digital Process Manufacturing Centre in Irvine last week and they had an amazing time participating in a challenge to re purpose old wind turbines. We also met Spot the Dog and had a tour to see other robots in action. #EduSky #Robotics

Another three Microsoft Educators in North Ayrshire. Congratulations to Mrs B, Mr F and Mrs J! #MIEExpert

Final session with Glencairn P5s & P6s last week in a 6 week programme of #DigitalSkills lessons. We looked at fact checking, internet safety, mis & disinformation, #AI & being responsible online. Pupils also had experience using @AdobeExpress to create posters for the classroom. #EduSky

Great morning with Pupil Digital Leaders from across the authority today. Pupils were creating a collaborative Halloween PPT as well as learning about Sphero minis and Indis and Marty the Robot Thanks to Blacklands PS for hosting! #EduSky #Coding

Congratulations to our secondary PRTs last night who all gained two of the six #MicrosoftEducator modules. Hopefully more achievements at our next twilight!

Thanks to those who came along to our Digital Schools Award session last night. Huge thanks to Miss Lynch for sharing her experience of the process. Any school interested in applying can find support materials in the Digital Learning Coordinators Team.

Great to be at the National Music Education Conference yesterday at the RCS talking to music instructors about using iPads to support their work. Apart from Apple native apps we looked at various Microsoft apps especially OneNote and Lens. #MIEExpert #iPadEd

Busy week this week with #greenscreen at one primary, handing out certificates to our lunchtime #CodeClub pupils at another and some #CLPL for me on NotebookLM and Scratch #Coding from Barefoot Computing 😅 #EduSky

We had Bekha, a software developer as our guest at lunchtime code club today to talk about her job. It was a great insight into digital jobs.

Our children had some really good questions, mainly around cybersecurity and hacking! #EduSky #Coding

Fun in the sun at Code Club today with the @spheroeducation.bsky.social RVRs. We had some free play to introduce the pupils to the cars. @digitalxtra.scot #EduSky #Coding

Brilliant morning at our Digital Leaders event today where pupils experienced @spheroeducation.bsky.social Minis, Lego Spike, @roboticalltd.bsky.social and @doinkapps.bsky.social We wrote scripts on Pages and used presenter to help report on #VEDay

The furthest we managed was 72m.

You can re-program the coloured tiles using the app. There are extra directions, lots of celebrations and the ability to code musical notes to each colour.

First time using the Indi app with a group of pupils today. They were delighted with the music making ability! #EduSky #Coding @spheroeducation.bsky.social

They are meant to work further outdoors as there are no obstructions like walls. Also no other digital devices to cause issues. The three biggest distances were 69, 72 and 73m.

Tried a variety of Radio Game programs today with pupils. Since the weather obliged for once we tested the distance the #microbits could still communicate with each other in the playground as the classroom wasn’t big enough! #MicrobitChampion #EduSky

Lovely day at the @digitalxtra.scot Showcase event in @skyscanner.net offices in Glasgow, demonstrating our digital equipment and networking with other recipients of the grant.

Lovely couple of days in one of our primaries. We took photos and estimated sizes then used the measure app to check our estimations. Some classes made Pages books while P6/7 made movies with their photos. #iPaded @edusky.bsky.social

First visit to our third school for Lunchtime Code Club. Today was all about data gathering and giving pupils the opportunity to try out some of the equipment. @spheroeducation.bsky.social Indi Cars certainly sparked some interest as the mats were investigated! @digitalxtra.scot

Great afternoon at
‘Transforming Education with Technology’ event organised by XMA at Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh. Lots of ideas for #iPaded and a good opportunity for networking. #EduSky

Great afternoon with P4/5 and then P6/7 using Adobe Express to create Aspirations posters and Titanic Infographs respectively. Not bad for their very first attempts! #Creativity #EduSky

Today P1/2/3 were learning about coding with Sphero Indis. Some amazing coding including an infinity loop! #Coding #Creativity #EduSky

We gave out certificates today at Lunchtime Code Club ending our ten week block. Off to another school after the Easter holidays to spread the coding bug to a new group of pupils. #EduSky #Coding

Great time at a primary #STEAM Day today teaching P1-5 about Marty the Robot while P6 learned how to program @microbit.org

@roboticalltd.bsky.social

Day 1 of 3 at Cumbrae Primary done and it was #StopMotionAnimation
Some great films by P1-3 #EduSky

Some Barefoot Computing crazy characters today with Lunchtime Code Club. Despite a £20 prize no one got it right 😊 #coding #EduSky

PPT slide with 6 lines of text giving suggestions on how anyone can use accessibility tools. Slide titled ‘accessibility for all’.

Slide with three Microsoft quick guides to accessibility tools written by Heather Aird, a Scottish educator.

Another #accessibility session with PSAs this week looking at #ImmersiveReader amongst other MSFT tools. Also introduced staff to @missaird.bsky.social Quick Guides. #EduSky

Great lunchtime session with the Code Club yesterday. Some free play exploring the capabilities of the Sphero RVRs.

Some great ideas for the Sphero Indi cars lunchtime code club today, using books to create tracks for the cars! This was the result of many attempts. #Coding #Perseverance #EduSky
