Digital Learning Through Play Award in ELC

by


This information session is for ELC practitioners working across a range of ELC settings in Scotland to find out about the exciting Digital Learning Through Play Award in ELC.

The Digital Learning Through Play Award in ELC for Scotland is a national award scheme to promote, recognise and encourage a whole setting approach to the use of digital technology in ELC settings.

This award has been designed to support ELC settings to integrate digital technologies into children’s play and learning experiences, both outside and indoors and recognise and celebrate where this is already happening.

Each ELC setting’s award journey will be unique and tell its own story specific to the interests and needs of the children, available resources, infrastructure and the diverse components of the wider setting including; the staff team, parents and carers and community partners.

Are you ready to go on your digital journey and tell your settings story? View the webinar to find out more.
