So what is a digital leader? What do they do?
A digital leader is a KS2 pupil who is part of a digital leaders’ team within their school, their role is to support the use of technology, particularly iPads across the school. Schools participating in the Bolton School’s ICT Programme are supported in various ways as they set up and support a digital leaders’ team. They do a variety of jobs including:
- Support the use of iPads and computers in school to support learning
- Share their skills and expertise with other pupils and classes.
- Assist pupils in understanding coding applications.
- Lead lunchtime or after-school computing / iPad clubs.
- Have a good understanding of how to stay safe with technology and share that with others.
- Provide first-line technical support in school.
- Attend training sessions when they are arranged both in and out of school.
“We will ensure that all pupils and staff have the support and guidance needed to stay safe and become confident using digital technology.” Digital Leaders (2021)
