International Literacy Day – Glow TV Friday 6 September

2 Comments

Remember to mark International Literacy Day and join us on Glow to celebrate literacy for all ages.

We are asking all those working in literacy in Scotland with children, young people and adults to come together through Glow to celebrate with storytelling, film and creativity.  We want to learn from each other and share our literacy practices so we are asking those who are more familiar with Glow to invite other learning groups to celebrate with them.

After the summer we will be showing you on Glow how to make our origami owl, offering some ideas for creative literacy and ways to get involved in the event.

Look, Capture, Create

Leave a comment

Curious and creative learners from across Scotland have been exploring the importance and beauty of Scottish Biodiversity through Scottish designer/illustrator Johanna Basford’s exhibition ‘Wonderlands’ via Glow TV. This interdisciplinary learning experience has been developed in partnership with Dundee Contemporary Arts and is being supported by Sarah Derrick, Head of Education at DCA and Anna Rossvoll, Emerging Technologies Development Officer with Education Scotland.

Look Capture Create outline for educators

Johanna Basford is an ink evangelist who creates beautifully intricate hand drawn designs using black ink. ‘Wonderlands’ is her first solo exhibition and it is proving to be a magical context for creative learning through expressive arts, science, mathematics and languages.

Before the project went live learners were invited to join the Look, Capture, Create Glow group by submitting an InkyME! The response was astounding. Currently there are  InkyMEs exhibiting from Burravoe, Carron, Clackmannan, Hythehill, Lochgelly West, Lincluden, St Andrews and St Patricks primary schools.  The InkyMEs have even travelled to Dundee to attend the first live Glow TV event ‘Wondertales’ at Dundee Contemporary Arts on 13th May.

‘Wondertales’ encouraged learners to look at the intricacy of Johanna’s designs and to capture the detail in words to create a Wondertale!  Wendy Woolfson, an incredibly talented storyteller led the event, creating breath taking stories based on three of Johanna’s wallpaper designs. She then went on to create a collaborative tale as learners submitted their ideas live during the event. You can watch Wendy in action here.

This use of an exhibition as a form of text truly captured the imagination of learners and they have submitted incredible  Wondertales to the Glow wiki.  Learners are taking the  time to read each other’s work and leave comments. It would be lovely if you could do the same. (Glow username and password required)

Keep up to date with the Look, Capture, Create Glow blog and the next Look, Capture, Create Glow TV event will take place at Dundee Botanical Gardens at 10am on the 4th June.

Simple Acts 2013 – Cook a Dish from Another Country

Leave a comment

For 2013, we have chosen four simple acts, which we think are great ways for the pupils in your school to get involved. They fit in perfectly with Curriculum for Excellence,the theme of heritage for Refugee Week Scotland 2013, and are great fun too!

In this Glow Meet students will be able to cook along with a Scottish Refugee Council representative. The dish will be a simple recipe from another country. As well as baking the dish, students will learn about the country the dish comes from.
