E Safety Assemblies

Our E Safety assemblies went really well! We presented to every year in school. We made some videos to back up our presentations; the links are at the bottom of this post. On Monday, we gave our first presentation to the Sixth Formers. We were nervous at first, because we didn't know how they would receive our presentation, but they laughed at the jokes and seemed to be interested in what we had to say. It went well, and we were proud of our efforts. The next day, Tuesday, we were presenting to the Year 10's and 11's. We were particularly nervous, as it was the first time we would be presenting with our script. I think it went well, and the videos played seemed to have the desired effect. The last assembly, on the Wednesday morning, was to the Year 7's, 8's and fellow Year 9's! The previous assemblies had been in the school hall, but for this special assembly involving 3 years, we presented in the larger sports hall. This time, Megan introduced the assembly and we all stood up and said our pieces. At the end, I was so relieved it had been done, but I was glad I'd done it. We all really enjoyed the experience and it helped build up our leadership skills. It was a chance to show the school how proud we felt to be Digital Leaders and to show them the skills we were building up by being one.

Quadblogging

We have enjoyed Quadblogging with the 3 schools in America.
It is now coming to an end, but we hope to do some more Quadblogging in the future.

Video for #TMBrum2



Here is the video we made using iMovie for a meeting of teacher on 20th March 2013. The meeting was about 'Student Led Learning' and we were asked to explain what we do as DLs at Arden. We did a Prezi and also showed this video (unfortunately You Tube stopped working after a minute).

DL Updates

A few teachers have asked for assistance in different areas of technology such as blogs, Movie Maker and Wikis. Megan and Sophie will help with the blogs, Lochie and Matt will help with Movie Maker and Charlotte and Daisy will sort out the Wikis. Some DL's are going to a TeachMeet next Wednesday and will make a presentation about how Digital Leaders works and what it involves. Our video will also be shown during this meeting.
