Have you used Glow Science yet?

Glow Science includes over 650 short films that hundreds of teachers are using to enrich and support their teaching in the sciences and technologies. Tailored to Curriculum for Excellence – and tagged to levels 2, 3 and 4 – the films provide teachers with accurate and engaging visuals for the teaching of science, technology, and health and wellbeing.

All resources are free with your Glow log-in.

15 month extension to the current version of glow

The Scottish Government will continue to fund the current version of glow at the same time as planning the introduction of a new version

 

A notice has been published (see the link below) signalling the Scottish Government’s intention to extend the current Glow contract with RM Education for 15 months after its expiry on 15 September this year.  The contract will be signed after a 10 day standstill period.
In parallel the Scottish Government is continuing with the tender exercise for a new ‘Integrated Application Suite’ for Glow (tools and services such as email, calendar, web conferencing etc).  We expect to make a decision on this by the end of May.  For reasons of commercial sensitivity we cannot comment on this process in any further detail.
The future of Glow must focus on the needs of the pupils and teachers who use it, and this step has been taken to secure continuity of service for Glow users.  Education Scotland and the Scottish Government are committed to working with these users, ADES and others stakeholders as we transition towards a new Glow.

Fantastic Fife!

Two Fife children have came first place in their categories in a National writing competition!

 

A pupil from Kings Road PS in Rosyth came first in the lower primary category and a pupil from Kirkcaldy West PS came first in the upper primary category…a fantastic result for Fife!  In the secondary school category a Fife pupil from Auchmuty HS, Glenrothes was a runner up.

There were over 450 schools taking part from all across  Scotland in the Glovember writing competition and with Fife children winning two out of the three categories, we at Fife’s CLN feel they should be exceptionally proud of their achievement.

Well done Ben and Niamh!
