Over the years, we have run a number of clubs with technology and computing at their heart. We started with Becontree TV and some of the programmes we made during that club can be seen below. The club then became Tech Crew and eventually evolved into Digital Leaders, which has been running for several years now.
Our Digital Leaders are a group of children who are committed to improving their computing skills and sharing what they know in lessons. They help out with IT jobs around the school.
These jobs include:
Charging and maintaining iPads
Charging and maintaining Laptops on trolleys
Charging and maintaining Chromebooks on trolleys
Wiping down mice, keyboards and screens of all computers and laptops
Tidying the Ada Lovelace suite and equipment:
Resetting monitors where needed
Checking and tidying Beebot mats and CoCo equipment.
Checking and filling printers
Checking and charging batteries
Tidying and charging cameras, Beebots and Probots
They meet regularly to discuss issues and set the jobs rota. They also receive regular training.
