Project highlights

The Bootcamp that ran for Brighton and Northbrook tutors and support staff, supported the Educator Level 2 training that tutors were encouraged to complete as part of the project.

The Bootcamp was run by external experts that brought additional insight into popular apps used by institutions.

Staff that had used Google previously found this Bootcamp expanded on their current skills and for less experienced staff, they gained a further insight and practical knowledge into the capabilities of G Suite for Education.

Scott Hayden from Basingstoke College of Technology was invited to talk to staff within the college about the digital journey BCot have undertaken.

Following the talk, staff at both colleges were invited to collaborate with their counterparts.

Education is changing rapidly. Never before have educators had so much access to technological tools for teaching, learning and assessment.

But where is this taking us? What skills will a child born today need to succeed in the world of 2035? What will the role of education be in 20 years? Will we still have schools in 50 years? How will Virtual Reality impact on students and teachers??

We livestreamed this lively panel discussion/good practice sharing session, hosted as part of the Brighton Digital Festival Event

Student Digital Leaders ( Website ) has come from the project as a way to support tutors and the outputs of the project.

Significantly inspired by a project partner college (BCoT) and other local institutions (UofB). We are currently discovering how utilising students could work best for us, and have found that employability skills have been a big motivator to get involved.

Ideas so far how involved training the students fully in common hardware and software, encouraging class collaboration and testing / trialing G Suite apps.
