This week, we reflected on the amazing work that Digital Classroom Officers are doing in their schools. During this reflection session, we encouraged DCOs to look back at their school's Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP) and Digital Action Plan (DAP) to see how they have contributed to meeting set goals. DCOs also had the opportunity to create a roadmap or infographic that illustrates all of their amazing achievements.

Computer Science week is just around the corner (5th Dec - 11th Dec) and what better way to celebrate than with an hour of code. Chris takes us through a FABULOUS 30-40 minute Makecode Arcade activity that can be used for any KLA.
We had a 20-minute sharing session on how we have implemented the T4L kits into teaching and learning during our time as DCO. Some experiences were positive and some DCOs are still working on helping staff in this space.
