Teachers and pupils throughout Ellon Academy use Digital Learning to enhance both learning & teaching experiences. GLOW has become a major platform used within the classroom, which has changed how children are learning and how lessons are being delivered. Google Workspace (encompassing Google Classroom) is being used extensively and effectively to support lessons delivered both within the school and to pupils who are having to work remotely.
Our overarching philosophy at Ellon Academy for Digital Learning is that all pupils regardless of ability or skills developed have the right to high quality digital learning experiences across our school curriculum. Pupils also have the right to access digital devices throughout our school and be provided with opportunities to access digital learning environments that will help them in their learning. Staff too have the right to engage in meaningful and fulfilling CLPL relating to digital learning so that they can continue to deliver high quality learning experiences for pupils. Finally, our school community families and wider community also have the right to be involved in our young people’s education and we encourage them to engage in family and wider community digital learning opportunities.
