Digital Competencies

Our aim is to to empower learners to participate meaningfully and safely in the use of technology in social, academic, and economic situations by providing learning experiences that expose learners to a range of different technologies and their uses.

By using these technologies students:

DIG01 : Develop proficiency in the use of different types of digital technologies and use them to perform increasingly complex and diverse functions

This is evidenced by:

Being able to select the most appropriate technology for the function required
Demonstrating competence of digital technology use

DIG02 : Develop digital literacy in the form of research, evaluation, creation, collaboration and communication of information

This is evidenced by:

Proficiency in using digital tools to support these skills in an age-appropriate way.

DIG03 : Develop digital leadership skills and the safe, healthy, responsible and respectful use of technologies to better our own lives and improve the circumstances of others

This is evidenced by:

Demonstrating the skills outlined in the St Chris Digital Leadership Framework: Be Secure, Be Private, Be Healthy, Be Brave, Be Respectful, Be Kind, Be Inspiring in an age-appropriate way
Being responsible for the safety of themselves and others online inside and outside of school
Showing respect in how they use technology for learning and for life

The development of these competencies occurs throughout the curriculum both within our computing lessons and through the use of technology to support learning across the school. Students, parents and teachers engage in workshops related to a range of digital technology issues and students also have the opportunity to engage with technology through ECAs and student leadership teams.

Intent Statement

Developing Digital Leaders

Digital proficiency aims to empower learners with skills, knowledge and understanding so that they can participate meaningfully and safely in the use of technology in social, academic and economic situations. It includes the development of digital literacy so that technology can easily be used to locate, evaluate, create and communicate information effectively. This, in addition to engaging with the notion of digital leadership, promotes the safe, healthy, responsible and respectful use of technology to better our own lives and improve the circumstances of others.

Digital proficiency enables us to:

Use technology confidently and efficiently to interact and create digital content
Research effectively and be critical when selecting digital information on the basis of influence or purpose
Innovate and be creative in finding digital solutions to problems
Communicate and collaborate successfully using a variety of digital platforms including social media
