ACED Projects underway…. - ‘Google Genius Group’ led by CBL
- RVHS Chromebook purchase scheme- led by PLA & MVK - RVHS New Chromebook trolleys- we have approx 250 at any one time. (currently)
ACED Training Plans: - INSET Day September- Teacher training- The Basics - A ‘Menu’ of training for teaching staff- differentiated based on ability & understanding. - All staff given capacity to reset passwords for ease during lessons. - Use of Tuesday briefing slots- across the academic year. - Twilight Session- time allocated to plan properly before the first digital week.
ACED Next steps... 1. Practicality of issuing chromebooks from school trolley in your faculty area- Let
us know where it needs situating. Do you want Chromebook carriers? 2. What curriculum planning will need to be looked at in preparation for Digital
week? How will your team utilise these weeks? 3. Use of gained time staff/ schools direct/NQTs to explore digital activities using
the T&L menu Use all of these ideas to shape the Digital Strategy section of your Subject Re-focus document.
