This national project aims to harness the potential of digital media to enable their students – all of whom have additional support needs – to: tell their stories and express their opinions online using multimedia tools; feel more connected and engaged; more easily pursue their interests; and increase their networks. The project is also intended to create opportunities for the students to increase their confidence and social capital. Rather than merely providing workshops, this project proposes to work closely with students to overhaul how Upward Mobility, as an organisation, use digital media to support their students and connect with other organisations. The project will benefit 140 students with additional support needs, at least 140 families, and around 60 Upward Mobility staff. A digital review and strategy will be undertaken that will guide how they can make better use of technology and social media to achieve strategic aims in the future. They will also be up-skilling staff and students. Technology will be used in all workshops (cooking, school of rock, animation, art) and will revolutionise the way they communicate internally and externally - students will become more involved in that process. The project will be developed and managed by the Development & Curriculum Managers.

....more
We have a rich history of using technology to enrich our workshops, and the results are undeniable. Joyful, high quality creative work has been the backbone of the hundreds of lives we have changed for the better. Using technology is also a great risk, we have seen cyberbullying, dangerous behaviour online and inappropriate use of technology. Our staff are trained to respond to these events and we all know the vulnerabilities of the people we work with. Building in a robust layer of IT skill and good sense across all our workshops will take a lot of work and a ‘learning by stealth’ approach. For example our photography workshop have created an amazing collection of themed albums, but we do not currently have the capacity to connect or share their work on the internet. This is something that can bring critical attention, the thrill, joy and risk of choosing, displaying, publishing and sharing your work with others is something that we desperately want our students to experience. This grant will help us do that in a safe, structured way. The project will be a collaboration between our Education and Curriculum Manager and our workshop facilitators. They will work together to implement the digital skills appropriate to our students in ways that enhance the following workshops throughout the grant period: Photography workshop every Monday (8 Students) Social Media awareness every Monday (3 Students) Café project every weekday (4 Students) Preston pans Multi Media Workshops every Monday ( 9 Students) We will use a mixed environment of technology; tablets, PC’s and laptops, office and free software, just as in the real world. We have a donated suite of 10 desktop PC’s all windows, thanks to the TT-Exchange program we have licensed versions of Windows 7. We use free or online version of software including Google Picassa, to manage the photography workshops. This grant will allow us to buy enough tablets so we can have two and sometimes three workshops using them at once. Another example where we will implement a digital skills layer of learning using this grant is our new café project. Funded by Community Food & Health Scotland and the Clothworkers Foundation as well as other smaller funders. It is a small social enterprise that will start out providing healthy lunches cooked by and consumed by our students. We will run the café as an enterprise and involve the students in the business, promotion, and research for the café. This will be done in a structured way using skills and materials provided by this grant. We also have a similar ‘framework’ approach to equipping our students with skills that will help them approach sustainable employment and digital life skills together. This grant will feed into that work, and our application to the RBS Skills and Opportunities fund to add more digital skills and training to our employability themed workshops, including a special strand in the Café Project.
