Why?
The use of digital tools can transform the teaching of literacy. Edinburgh Learns Digital recently launched the Supporting Literacy with Digital Tools guide, which provides practical suggestions on how to support learners to develop their skills in reading, writing, and listening and talking. This online course will explore some of these digital approaches in action and offer suggested ways in which you can enhance your literacy lessons through the effective use of digital tools. In doing so, we will explore ways to scaffold and differentiate learning, while also supporting pupil choice and creativity.
This course will be delivered by Edinburgh Learns Digital and Edinburgh Learns.
