MY PROJECT
Ysgol Glan Aber is
a small community focused school in Boot End of Bagillt in Flintshire. We have
148 on roll and are currently living in the dark ages in terms of technology.
We have capable, well trained, enthusiastic staff who are ready and willing to
make a push into the new Digital Curriculum. However we have laptops that are
aged, unreliable and riddled with problems. We have iPads but they're limited
to a few a class and as a result our ICT and coding capabilities are
limited.
What do you want?
We want to get a
selection of the latest coding equipment to start an after school coding club
as well as use them within our ICT sessions. We would get equipment and
resources that benefit the whole school, from nursery to year 6. This would
include the Code-a-pillar for younger coders, spheros and lego robotics for KS2
as well as bee-bots for the whole school.
Who is this for?
Our equipment would
benefit the whole school with every age and year group benefiting by being able
to access the latest technologies. It would be used in the after school or
lunch time coding club as well as during ICT sessions.
Why do you want it?
We currently don't
have the equipment to really immerse and inspire children into computer
sciences and coding. In this modern age and the speed of which technology moves
soon digital technology will be as important as Maths and English. We therefore
need to give our children the opportunity to learn, enjoy and embrace
technology and it's capabilities.
