Teams meeting co-organiser functionality in Glow

When scheduling a meeting staff can now add a co-organiser to meetings scheduled within Team in Glow. After inviting people/scheduling your meeting, you can add up to 10 co-organisers to help manage your meeting.  Co-organisers can be added in the Meeting Options screen which is accessible after the meeting has been created.  Only those who have been added as named attendees can be promoted to co-organisers. Co-organisers are displayed as additional organisers in the meeting participant list and have most of the capabilities of the meeting organizer.

A co-organiser can perform the following actions –

  • Open the Meeting
  • Admit people from the lobby and switch off the lobby
  • Manage Breakout rooms
  • Present content by default
  • Change another participants role to allow the to present content
  • Make changes to meeting options
  • End the meeting for all

Due to these extra capabilities it is not recommended to add a learner as a co-organiser as this could result in meetings which are only attended by unsupervised learners.

This additional functionality could be very useful in staff meeting or for those who arrange meetings on behalf of other.  More details on adding a co-organiser can be found – here.

There is limited funding available through the IET (Institute for Engineering and Technology) for the FIRST® LEGO® League Challenge. This is a yearly challenge based on a real world scientific theme. This year’s theme is renewable energy.

You can choose to complete the challenge in your classroom (with a classroom pack) or to enter a team to attend a competition. There are 3 Levels:

  • Discover (4-6 year olds) – You get a class pack of LEGO DUPLO sets and resources on energy.
  • Explore (6-9 year olds) – You get 5 LEGO robots and 5 related LEGO sets per class. Along with engineering notebooks and guides.
  • Challenge (9-16 year olds) – You get 3 LEGO robots and 2 LEGO challenge packs to build a series of 15 energy related challenges for your robot to complete. The competition element is to code your robot to complete the challenges against either a classroom opponent or in a external competition event.

This would be particularly suited to a upper Primary Class or Primary/Secondary STEM Club. All the LEGO, instructions and resources are provided if you are successful with funding.
