The iCommunicate module explores the evolving landscape of digital communication. As children interact with technology from an early age, it is crucial they learn to use it safely and respectfully. Delivered primarily in Autumn 1, this course introduces EYFS and KS1 to the fundamentals of computing, laying the groundwork for essential digital skills they will use throughout their education and beyond. Key Stage 2 pupils take a deeper dive into how technology enables communication and collaboration with wider audiences, exploring areas such as podcasting, web design, and digital marketing. They will also examine the growing role of AI and its impact on our ever-changing technological world.
After looking at different ways of communication the class will start emailing Alex the Alien. Alex would like to attend a school on the planet Earth, but he doesn't know anything about the planet. Using apps and class discussions the pupils will read emails from Alex to ascertain what he would like to know, go and research for him, and then report their findings back at the end of the lesson.
Pupils will learn the fundamentals of internet and digital device safety. They will be introduced to different real-life scenarios and develop different strategies to stay clear of, or to deal with potential situations that could arise when online. Pupils will be reminded each lesson about the correct procedures to follow and who they can talk to should they have any concerns regarding e-safety.
This course empowers pupils with essential knowledge about data and digital safety. Throughout these lessons, they will explore data handling, understanding how information is collected, used, and shared in the digital world. They will learn to make informed decisions about the data they provide. Pupils will focus on how others connect with them through different digital platforms and develop key strategies for staying safe online. This course equips pupils with the confidence and awareness needed to navigate technology responsibly, preparing them for a connected world.
This module focuses on podcasting, blogging, vlogging and broadcast channels. Pupils will look at the origins of these four areas before learning how to create their own. Pupils will also discuss how digital networks such as the internet have made remote collaborations possible and very easy.
Pupils will look to answer the BIG question: Can computers think? iIntelligence introduces pupils to the evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI), guiding them through its history, rapid growth, and increasing role in everyday life. They will explore current AI applications, discuss its advantages and challenges, and examine the ethical considerations surrounding this powerful technology. Through engaging discussions and activities, pupils will develop a critical understanding of AI’s impact and learn essential strategies for staying safe while interacting with this ever-present technology.
Pupils will be introduced to advertising across three different mediums: Print, TV and Radio. Participants will learn how to create radio adverts and jingles to suit different products and themes, create a TV advert for a new product and finally a digital print advert for their product. The outcome will be for pupils to have a series of works surrounding the advertisement industry. Pupils will look at collaborations of different departments in the same company to make a rounded campaign.
Participants will design and build their own website for Junior Jam. Students will be given a design brief to aid the design process. The website will include elements of HTML as well as using a WYSIWYG developing app to help visualise their design. The website must include several different elements including a video game that students must design and create as part of their course.
