The two training days have increased my knowledge of GLOW and made me more comfortable using many of the features. In the first instance, I would like to be able to upload video and allow pupils access to view model performances. In the longer term, I would like all pupils to be able to access GLOW as a resource to enhance learning and teaching. I would also be interested in the best ways to issue and collect homework from pupils. The possibilities are endless!

I would like further support in developing my glow group pages for use with my S1 Science classes. Also, support specifically with hidden pages, uploading video files and managing document and image libraries. Ideas as to how to move forward the use of glow with other members of the department would also be useful.

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.

I wish to showcase success of my pupils and encourage them to utilise ICT skills taught and “show off” to their parents, carers and each other. Experiences and participation mean a great deal to our pupils and I relish any chance to support and further their progress, confidence and success to the optimum.
I’m also thinking of setting up a transition group of some sort to support both new pupils coming to our school and those who are going to the secondary, to alleviate anxieties and give information they would require,

I would like to use the interface to communicate with colleagues about the needs and best approaches to working with ASN learners. I’d also like to use Glow to showcase learners achievement and collaborate with primary staff/pupils in transitional projects.

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 😉
Karen Stubbs – Calderhead High School
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.
Maxine Paterson – Calderhead High School
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 am really interested in using Blogs within my own subject and looking at how we could use it accross the school to celebrate success and achievment.
