Alice Walker – “Roselily”

Arriving on Saturday morning after reading Victorian melancholic poets and thinking about the challenges of the run in to the Higher English exam made me feel as if I was wading through the stuff mentioned above.

However… I now have some good questions to ask about making my “Higher Version Two” site a little better. Better try some Spicy Nodes and dump my tasks into Remember the Milk

Once I have figured out how to do it, I will invite you to visit my blog and add comments regarding my efforts in the ‘Movemeber’ campaign.

Today has been interesting in terms of sparking ideas for my  Glow groups.

In Tier 3 I would like to build on the develoment needs of the Tier 2 staff. There is also some Departments who would appreciate some support in establishing Glow groups and generally welcome ideas on how to enhance teaching and learning in their departments.

We also have an opportunity to sell the importance of Glow to Germany! Details later 😉

I have really enjoyed the training so far.  I am really enthusiastic about using wikis and blogs to support pupil’s learning in a way that’s ‘real’ for them.  I would like some support as I’m developing a new course for S2 to see how I can use wikis or blogs (I can’t decide which is more suitable).  I am also keen to roll Glow out across my faculty and would like some ideas on how to encourage my staff – if my stuff looks better they’ll be keener to make a start!  As a school we are looking at different ways of using ICT to develop personal learning planning and I would like to investigate using e-portfolios to support this.

I have found the training very informative and it has enthused me to used Glow to help support the pupils’ learning. During the Tier 3 training I am looking forward to rolling out the use of Glow across my department, following a successful trial with the Higher class. I am also looking to investigate the use of e-portfolios for the delivery of Personal Suppport across the school.

I have enjoyed seeing everyone’s glow groups this morning at the show and tell, well done everyone!

I am fairly confident in creating glow groups and am now just looking for inspiration and ideas to steal;)

In tier 3 i would like support  on how best to introduce self evaluation onto my pages for the pupils and how to record their results for teacher use.
