Introduction to Digital Technology is a face-to-face (in-person) workshop designed to introduce you to what Digital Technology is and what it looks like in the new Primary STEM Curriculum!

During this workshop we will explore:

• Digital Technology & the Curriculum – Explore the draft curriculum and discuss how you might integrate it.
• BBC micro:bit Basics – Explore what a BBC micro:bit is, how to use it, how to use the online emulator and how to use it to cover learning outcomes of the curriculum.
• Unplugged Activities – Being mindful that all schools and teachers may not have access to technology, we will introduce you to unplugged technologies to help teach the new concepts, without the need for a device.
• The EDTips Project – Learn how the EDtips project is supporting teachers in implementing the new draft curriculum in the classroom.

Whether you're completely new to digital tech or looking for fresh teaching strategies, this session is packed with practical insights and playful learning experiences!
