Mae’r ICO wedi creu canllaw newydd ar reoli Ceisiadau Rhyddid Gwybodaeth ar gyfer awdurdodau cyhoeddus. Mae’n ofynnol bod ysgolion yn ymateb i Geisiadau Rhyddid Gwybodaeth.

Gweler y ddolen i’r canllaw sydd ar gwefan yr ICO: 

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/foi/guide-to-managing-an-foi-request/

Os yw'r ysgol yn derbyn Cais Rhyddid Gwybodaeth, mae’r Swyddog Diogelu Data Ysgolion yn gallu cefnogi’r ysgol i brosesu ac ymateb i’r cais: ElinWilliams5@ynysmon.llyw.cymru

The ICO has created a new guidance on managing FOI requests for public authorities. Schools are required to respond to FOI requests.

Please find link to the guidance that is on the ICO’s website: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/foi/guide-to-managing-an-foi-request/

If the school receives an FOI request, the Schools Data Protection Officer can support the school in processing and responding to the request- ElinWilliams5@ynysmon.llyw.cymru

Ffenestr casgliad CBGY:

Dyddiad y cyfrifiad ar gyfer CBGY 2024 yw dydd Mawrth 5 Tachwedd. Bydd DEWi ar agor i ysgolion lanlwytho a chyflwyno eu ffeiliau o’r dyddiad hwn, gyda’r ffenestr yn cau ar ddydd Mercher 11 Rhagfyr.

Rheolau dilysu traws-DEWi yn erbyn data CBGY Ysgol:

Bydd dilysiadau traws-DEWi yn weithredol i wirio meysydd allweddol rhwng y CBGY Ysgol a CBGY AD. Mae’r rhain yn cynnwys rheolau 13139, 13257 ac 13258. Ni fydd y rheolau hyn yn tanio oni bai bod ffeil CBGY AD wedi’i lanlwytho’n llwyddiannus (h.y., heb unrhyw fethiannau sgema neu storio – bydd dal cyfle i lanlwytho cynifer o fersiynau ag sydd angen i sicrhau cywirdeb y data) a gofynnwn i chi lanlwytho fersiwn cyntaf o’r data i DEWi cyn gynted â phosibl er mwyn hwyluso’r broses hon. Tra byddwn yn monitro ffeiliau CBGY AD yn cael eu cyflwyno trwy DEWi, rydym yn eich annog i gyfathrebu â’r cyswllt CBGY AD yn eich awdurdod lleol i gydlynu dilysu’r rheolau hyn cymaint â phosibl. 

Nodiadau cwblhau technegol CBGY:

Mae’r nodiadau cwblhau technegol wedi’u diweddaru ar gyfer y CBGY ar gael ar https://www.llyw.cymru/cyfrifiad-blynyddol-or-gweithlu-ysgolion-cbgy-nodiadau-cwblhau-technegol-ar-gyfer-cyflogau-adnoddau

Rhannu gwybodaeth a data personol:

Gofynnwn i chi sicrhau nad oes unrhyw wybodaeth neu ddata personol (e.e., rhif yswiriant cenedlaethol, enwau, dyddiad geni) yn cael eu rhannu trwy e-byst – o fewn y testun neu mewn atodiadau / sgrinluniau – wrth godi cwestiynau yn ymwneud â chasgliadau neu ddata.

Gweinyddiaeth casgliad:

Gadewch i ni wybod os oes angen creu unrhyw gyfrifon defnyddwyr newydd i weinyddu’r casgliad trwy DEWi, neu os oes unrhyw gyfrifon defnyddwyr sydd ddim angen mynediad i DEWi bellach. Rhowch wybod am unrhyw newidiadau trwy e-bostio IMS@llyw.cymru.

Please see below a brief note providing an update on the forthcoming SWAC 2024 collection with a link to the technical completion notes added:

SWAC collection window:

The census date for the SWAC 2024 is Tuesday 5 November. DEWi will be open for files to be uploaded and submitted from this date and the window is due to close on Wednesday 11 December.

Cross-DEWi vaildations against SWAC School data:

Cross-DEWi validations to check key field between the SWAC School and SWAC HR returns will be active. These are rule numbers 13139, 13257 and 13258. These rules will not trigger for schools to review unless a SWAC HR file has been uploaded successfully for the local authority (i.e., with no schema or data storage failures – there will still be an opportunity to upload as many versions as possible to ensure the accuracy of the data) and we would encourage you to upload an first version of the data to DEWi as soon as possible to facilitate this process. While we will monitor progress on the submission of SWAC files we would encourage you to communicate with the SWAC School IMS contact(s) for your local authority in order to co-ordinate validation of these rules as much as possible.

Technical completion notes for SWAC return:

Mae trwyddedau Uwchraddio Dysgu ac Addysgu Google ar gael i'w prynu drwy'r Gwasanaeth Technoleg Addysg ac yn darparu adnoddau a gwasanaethau Google ychwanegol i ymarferwyr trwy Hwb.

Mae Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals yn parhau i fod ar gael i'w ddefnyddio am ddim ar Hwb. Gellir ychwanegu'r uwchraddiad Addysgu a Dysgu at Education Fundamentals i ddarparu gwell cyfathrebu fideo, profiadau dosbarth cyfoethog, ac offer integredig ar gyfer mwy o effeithlonrwydd.

Ennyn diddordeb dysgwyr a gwella profiadau dosbarth

Mae'r uwchraddiad Addysgu a Dysgu yn darparu gwell galluoedd yn Google Meet, Classroom, ac Assignments. Mae'n gweithio'n ddi-dor gyda'r adnoddau cynhyrchiant eraill yn Google Workspace for Education ac yn eich galluogi i greu cynnwys difyr ar-lein, gan integreiddio'ch hoff gynnwys ac adnoddau Technoleg Addysg, yn ogystal â darparu cyfleoedd i wirio gwreiddioldeb gwaith dysgwyr.

Mae'r drwydded hefyd yn cynnwys setiau ymarfer sy'n gallu trawsnewid cynnwys newydd a chynnwys sy’n bodoli’n barod yn aseiniadau difyr a rhyngweithiol. Gydag awto-raddio yn rhan o’r pecyn,  gall ymarferwyr dderbyn mewnwelediadau ar berfformiad a chip ar gynnydd dysgwyr. Mae dysgwyr yn cael adborth amser real wrth iddyn nhw gwblhau setiau ymarfer, gan gael gwybod felly a ydyn nhw ar y trywydd iawn. Os byddan nhw’n cael trafferth ac angen cefnogaeth, bydd awgrymiadau awtomataidd ac awgrymiadau fideo yno iddyn nhw, sy’n cael eu dewis ar sail y sgil dysgu a ychwanegwyd gan yr ymarferydd. 

Proses Archebu

Yn sgil natur y gwasanaeth hwn, bydd angen prynu trwyddedau - gan ddefnyddio Ffurflen Archebu Lot 2 Gwasanaeth Rheoli Archebion yr Awdurdod Lleol – mewn ffenestri archebu. Bydd y ffenestri archebu hyn yn cyd-fynd â'r ffenestri presennol ar gyfer trwyddedau Adobe Creative Cloud.

Ffenestr 1  - erbyn 31 Gorffennaf 2024 

Ffenestr 2 - erbyn 31 Hydref 2024 

Cost y trwyddedau hyn ar gyfer 2024/25 yw £3.38 y drwydded y mis fesul defnyddiwr ynghyd â ffi weinyddol y Gwasanaeth Technoleg Addysg. Dylai awdurdodau lleol gydlynu gofynion ysgolion i greu un archeb ar y cyd i'r Gwasanaeth Technoleg Addysg drwy e-bostio - EdTech@caerphilly.gov.uk.

Bydd angen i bob trwydded bara hyd at 31 Awst 2025 gyda thrwyddedau a brynwyd yn ffenestr mis Hydref ar sail pro-rata o ran cost a thymor. Sylwer: ni ellir prynu'r uwchraddiad hwn drwy Gyllid Technoleg Addysg Llywodraeth Cymru.

Google Teaching and Learning Upgrade licences are available to purchase through the EdTech Service to provide practitioners with additional Google tools and services through Hwb.

Google Workspace for Education Fundamentals continues to be available for use free on Hwb. The Teaching and Learning upgrade can be added to Education Fundamentals to provide enhanced video communication, enriched classroom experiences, and integrated tools for more efficiency.

Engage learners and enhance class experiences

The Teaching and Learning upgrade provides enhanced capabilities in Google Meet, Classroom, and Assignments. It works seamlessly with the other productivity tools in Google Workspace for Education and allows you to create compelling content online, integrating your favourite EdTech tools and content, as well as providing opportunities for checking learner work for originality.

The licence also includes practice sets which can transform new and existing content into engaging and interactive assignments. With autograding built in, practitioners can receive performance insights and snapshots into learner progress. Learners get real-time feedback as they complete practice sets, so they know whether they’re on the right track. If they get stuck and need support, they can see automated hints and video suggestions, which are selected based on a learning skill added by the practitioner. 

Order Process

Due to the nature of this service, licences will need to be purchased – using the LA Orders Managed Service Lot 2 Order Form – in order windows. These order windows will align with the existing windows for Adobe Creative Cloud licences.

Window 1 - by 31 July 2024 

Window 2 - by 31 October 2024 

The cost of these licences for 2024/25 is £3.38 per licence per month per user plus the EdTech Service's administration fee. Local authorities should coordinate requirements from schools into a consolidated order to the EdTech Service by email - EdTech@caerphilly.gov.uk.

All licences will need to run through to 31 August 2025 with licences purchased in the October window being pro-rata’d for cost and term. Note: this upgrade cannot be purchased through the Welsh Government EdTech Funding.
