Week 1 Glow Meet Notes
The recordings of yesterday’s Glow Meets are now online:
You need your Glow username and password to view them. Hopefully these will help if you did not make the meeting. It is easy enough to follow the bootcamp without using the meets, as I hope all necessary instructions are in the weekly blog posts.
The posts for some early birds are starting to appear here on the bootcamp blog. Please visit them and leave a comment. This can be a good way to model writing online for pupils if you are starting blogging.
In the staff meet I did not really discuss any classroom organisation. It may be worth mentioning that I have found share writing a good way to start, this lets you set standards and model the writing you are looking for.
In the pupil meet we had a lot of response to discussion points, which I’ll add below, these may help in starting discussion in your own classrooms.

Democracy, Migration & Nationalism
It’s all happening in Highland this week at Culloden Academy. Scran has been invited to work with senior pupils studying the SQA Higher History syllabus. The focus will
be on accessing resources and records related to the three main topics for the year;
- Migration & Empire 1830-1939
- Growth of Democracy 1850-1950 inc. the Suffragettes
- Growth of Nationalism, Germany 1815-1939
Besides learning how to use Scran as a research tool, the Culloden students will also be thinking about digital assets, copyright how to attribute their sources appropriately.
This “Good Luck” image is a firm favourite in the Scran office and you can find it amongst our records on emigration. It shows five well-dressed ladies posing with the Captain on board ‘SS Marloch’, before setting sail for Canada in 1924.
After school, the Social Subjects & RMPS staff will have to knuckle down too. The twilight session is part of our ongoing schools CPD and CLPL offer.

Introduction
Hello fellow folks on the bootcamp,
I am a English Probationer teacher who has just started at Thurso High School. I have already been using a blog with my senior classes as a matter of catch up work and links to helpful websites. I feel the opportunity is great but need a little assistance and ideas to go about this. Hopefully this is where you can all help as we share ideas and collaborate on projects.

Introduction to the World of Blogging
Hello,
I am an English teacher working in Dundee. I’m keen to have learners get involved in digital literacy work and hope to use this blog as a launch pad towards some kind of school news publication. If anyone has any hints and tips relating to school newspapers please add a comment.
