The first of the groups of training days was held at St Barbara’s Primary School Annexe in Muirhead on Thursday 10th February. This was Day 1 for the people taking the sessions 10th and 17th Feb. The session looked mostly at using Glow Groups for Virtual Campus and Transition Projects but also had a quick look at Glow wikis.
We were delighted that 12 staff attended from across the following schools:
- Brannock HS
- Calderhead HS
- Chryston HS
- Greenfaulds HS
- St Aidan’s HS
- St Andrew’s HS
- St Margaret’s HS
The participants had varying levels of familiarity with Glow from people who had only logged in before and classed themselves as non-users to those who are regularly using Glow for learning and teaching.
Some quotes from the evaluations will give you an idea of the experience for the participants:
I feel that the presentation was paced well and the delivery was great. I feel that there was a lot to take in, but it certainly has opened my mind to the capabilities that Glow can offer.
Excellent day that gave me a significant amount of help, ideas and food for thought.
Excellent day I came here rather unconvinced about glow but my understanding of the pages and ideas of what can be achieved is clearer
Course was realy fast paced but very helpful. Provided a great stimulus for developing my own materials – lots to think about!!
Thank you so much – all very clearly put and I was not made to feel stupid which I really appreciate!
What a great bunch of people came along and we look forward to working with you all in Tier 3 – take note, the other courses have a lot to live up to!
Cheers,
Karen-Ann
