DIGITAL LITERACY SUPPORT

Digital Literacy and the use of Digital Technology as part of learning and teaching is an area that we have been working on in school for some time.

As we enter another period of remote learning from home we have updated the Support Guide below for parents/carers.

This Introduction to Digital Literacy has been designed to introduce you to the Digital platforms that your child will be using in secondary school allowing you as parents/carers to support your child’s learning at home.

CYBER SAFETY

Please click here for a  resource, which was shared with us by Police Scotland colleagues,  which has been designed to promote the safety of our young people when they are online.
Digital parenting is more important now than ever, and we all have a shared responsibility to know the benefits of the internet as well as the potential dangers of what our young people may be exposed to. 
We all want to keep them as safe as possible, so knowing the apps that they may be using, the games they may be playing and the material they may be accessing as well as the potential impact of some online material, and very importantly, where to seek support if it is needed is vital.

The second document lets you see where the current School Qualifications fit in with other qualifications such as those gained at College or University.
CEOP helps any child or young person who is being pressured, forced or tricked into taking part in sexual activity of any kind. This can be either online or in ‘the real world’, or both.
