Digi leaders (led by Mr Whyman)

Being an Online Safety Ambassador is an important role for children who are passionate about technology and keeping others safe online. As computing ambassadors, they will help teachers by making sure their peers have the right equipment for learning and by reporting any issues with technology so it can be fixed quickly. They may also be called upon to support friends with their computing tasks, so being reliable and computer-savvy is key. A big part of this role is acting as online safety ambassadors, helping to raise awareness of how to use the internet and social media responsibly. They therefore need to lead by example when it comes to accessing age appropriate videos, games and social media apps. Online Safety Ambassadors will need to be respectful and sensible but most importantly, they should be inspired to use their skills to make school a safer and more effective digital learning environment for everyone.

Meet our newly elected digi-leaders:

2022-2023

 

This year so far, the Digi-leaders have been an amazing help to me. They always arrive perfectly on time to fetch whatever is needed in class and then take the trolleys to the next class, they just know what to do and how to be safe moving around school.

A few of them have really stepped up if I’ve needed something done, with their teachers permission, they helped with updates on the iPads, plugging them in and generally being super helpful.  It has been great watching them becoming more confident with the devices and able to help their classmates.

A few comments from them:

• Blake “You can help people on the computer’”
• Oakli, “I enjoys being a Digi leader as I gets to work with the iPads”
• Freddie “I like being Digi leader because I like helping my teachers with getting the iPads. I like to ensure the iPads are used and put away correctly.  I also enjoy having this responsibility.”
• Kelly “because I like helping people with the iPads the laptops and it also makes people happy and then they will learn from their mistakes”

Summer 2022-2023

I asked the Digi Leaders to tell me in one word how their year had been.  Outstanding, fantastic, responsible, enjoyable, to say a few. Through the Spring and Summer term, the Digi Leaders confidence has grown so much and it's been amazing watching you all grow.

To Joe, Kabir, Drishti and Isaac, thank you for leading the younger years and always been so kind and patient.
