Guides for Home Learning

1. Accessing GLOW and teams

Students working from home should access class resources and tasks through Teams. It is important that you know how to log in to Glow and know how to access Teams. Contact your class teacher if you need your Glow password reset.

2. Download the teams app

Download the Teams app for your iPad / mobile phone. This will send you alerts about your classes e.g. announcements and assignments.

It would also be useful to download the OneNote app – many departments will use this as your digital jotter. You can download the full Office 365 for free from Glow.

3. ‘Proxy’ Issues

Please follow the steps below to resolve the Proxy issues on your iPad:-

If you have a computer login and are confident your login information is correct, continue inputting it when asked.
If you do not have a computer login, or you have forgotten your username or password, please ask your parent or guardian to complete the Microsoft Form they received by text from the school last Wednesday
Close an app (double-click home button and swipe app) when you are finished using it to prevent multiple apps trying to connect.
Try to keep multiple tabs open on Safari to a minimum and close these (X button to the left of each tab) when finished. You can always bookmark or favourite tabs if you wish to come back to them later.
If this issue continues, causing you to have no access to Wifi at home, please contact the school office on 0141 582 0280

3. Learning outline posts

If you’re learning from home it is your responsibility to access and complete tasks set by your teacher.

Your teacher will post weekly/daily learning outcomes your class Teams & Showbie for you to access. This will tell you what topic is being covered that day. It will also tell you where to access resources such as PowerPoints, notes, assignments and any tasks due to be completed. You can also let your teacher know you have accessed the post by liking the post.

If your teacher is using OneNote you can access this from Home on your iPad, Computer Tablet or phone using the One Note app.

This acts as an electronic jotter allowing you to access tasks and feedback from home. you can also upload pictures of written tasks to be marked digitally. It will act as a portfolio of evidence of your work
