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! 🙌✨

An 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. 🙌

Excellent work from P7 all over Falkirk over the past seven days. Onwards to secondary school! 🍀

📣Calling all staff who are about to head into their last week in Falkirk! 📣 Retiring, moving authority, taking a break? Make sure you take a look at our ⚡4 recommended actions⚡to take with your Glow account to make sure you, your colleagues and your school don't lose access to important stuff!

Congratulations to L and R! Well deserved, we loved your Scratch game. Do you have Pupil Digital Leaders in your school? Check out our badges for Falkirk Digital Leaders ahead of next session. Digital badges, certificates and feedback on your projects. 👇 blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/fa/digilearn...

Video, audio, text! Storytelling brought to life and expressed through a variety of modes all while honing those digital and creativity skills. This is ✨exactly✨ what we love to see!

It'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! 🌟

'The Churn' is coming!!! ♻️ 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! 🙌

What 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!

Woohoo! Great work from P6 at @stfrancisxaviers.bsky.social, enabling helpful use of learner voice when it comes to advice and suggestions for their peers ahead of 'The Churn'!

Bon travail P1! Some magical markup with a French theme! 🥐🇫🇷🥖

Day 2 of DLLW25 with Laura from Canopy and a fabulous group of educators from ELC to Secondary exploring getting the most from Google on iPad! Gemini was popular again and the accessibility features were a real wow moment. Fave quote of the day? ‘Learning happens up here 🧠, not down there 📱’ 🙌✨

Brilliant start to DLLW25 today with Andy and Laura from Canopy. Lots of interest in Gemini (especially canvas) 😯 ‘that’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen!’ and NotebookLM 👀 ‘I didn’t know we needed that until I saw it’. The Knoster/King model also giving LOTS of food for thought! 💭
