Digital learning accolade

SCHOOLS from Dundee and Fife are among the first to be recognised by the Scottish Government for promoting digital learning.

Rosebank Primary i n D u n d e e a n d Wo r m i t Primary in Fife were two of the first 21 schools in Scotland to be given the award, which recognises excellence in digital technology i n teaching and learning.

Recognised by Education Scotland, The Digital Schools Awards programme was launched last September with one in nine primaries in the country, 195 schools, signing up.

It is hoped another 200 will register to become a “Digital School” by the end of the year.

The awards ceremony, held at Wormit Primary School, saw each school presented with the accolade, with the minister for further education, higher education and science, Shirley-Anne Somerville, in attendance.

Wormit head teacher Jenny Cunningham said the school was “very proud” of achieving its digital status.
