Our photograph shows what looks like an everyday Maths lesson.  But in the top right hand corner of the whiteboard, a pupil, at home on Gigha because of adverse weather, joins the class through webcam and GLOW.  Douglas can see the teacher’s whiteboard on his computer at home, can see his classmates working and joins in all their activities.  Tarbert Academy is successfully piloting Lessons at Home for pupils who travel by ferry each morning so that learning and teaching time is not lost this winter.
