How this could be done
A list of suitable Welsh websites and apps are readily available in each class. Learners have access to and make good use of Welsh apps e.g. Magi Ann, Tric a Chlic, Campau Cosmig.
Below are several websites that can be used to develop learners' use of the Welsh language. Apps can be added to any tablets that are used in the school to further reinforce this.
Learners use a range of ICT software to complete spoken and written tasks in Welsh e.g. presentations
Learners can complete written tasks using Google Docs/Slides/Sites, Microsoft Word/PowerPoint/Sway, Adobe Poster, Presentation, Video and Just2Easy writing apps.
They can record spoken tasks using Adobe Video, Microsoft Flip within Teams, or screen recording tools to record their spoken Welsh.
Teachers make good use of digital resources to enhance teaching e.g. county schemes, Fflic a Fflac, Pod Antur, HWB resources etc.
Teachers can sign up for the FCC Education Dept Network within Hwb.
