Every time I hear about something new on GLOW, I decide that’s what I want to do. So today, I’m interested in using wikis. I think I could use it with my S1 class who are doing a IDL project on eco-schools. My department’s input is researching eco-schools and eco-initiatives in Germany. They are e-mailing their e-mail friends from a school in Germany. They could use a wiki to share what they find out with others and also they could post pictures of themselves working on other parts of the project. However, I’ve just heard about blogs too. I would like to use this to allow pupils to publish film reviews. We try to go to the GFT to see German films as often as possible and the pupils always write a film review which we put on our notice board and in school newsletter, but a blog would allow more pupils to read and write reviews. The blog could also record our new partnership with the school in Germany.

There are literally so many things which we can do with Glow, however our focus within the schools GLOW group this year is S1 curriculum. I think I would like to utilise the GLOW blogs and wikis to give pupils additional responsibility with regard to investigating and researching different aspects of the curriculum. This will be my tier 3 focus, with my colleagues developing skills to upload photos of Models and examples of work to highlight pupils success within our department, and indeed throughout our school. I think that most important aspect for us as a school right now is for the pupils to see GLOW as an integral part of our curriculum.

In Tier 3 I would hope to take forward the ePortfolio process for selected groups of pupils in the school either using Tutor Groups or a selected group of S3 high achievers.
