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.

Joanne Bonar – Greenfaulds High 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.
Irene Stewart – More thoughts!
I was thinking about the course all the way home, and realised that one area that I hadn’t put down for support/taking forward was adding audio and video files to a glow page or document, so I’ll try to remember to ask about it at the course on Monday!!
Tracey Keating St. Aidan’s High
In tier three I will need help to structure and organise my pages to be student friendly. I would also like use the Glow Learn aspect for students to complete homework on line.
Mairi Brady St Andrew’s High School
I am hoping to further develop my chemistry glow group and to incorporate some elements of target setting, blogging and e-profiling into the group.
Margaret Muirhead-Greenfaulds High School
I am interested in setting up Glow groups for all curricular areas within Science and Chemistry .
I would like to find out more about using Glowlearn
I would like to explore the possiblility of pupils using ePortfolios within the Interdisciplinery Project of the Scottish Science Baccalaureate .
Paul Higgins – St Margarets High
Throughout Tier 2 training, it has provided me with a huge range of ideas of the uses of GLOW. I hope to use GLOW in the coming year for transition projects with Primary 7 & S1 pupils and also to setup a resource site for Geography classes.
Mark Murphy St Andrew’s High School
I see Tier 3 as helping me with the basics of setting up a working glow group for my higher tchnological studies class.
Kirsty O’Brien – Brannock High School
I would like to see examples of how blogging is used in various ways:
- Primary/Secondary transition
- Recording pupil achievements
- Record of work for their subjects
- Displaying their work
At this introductory stage of ‘blogging’ I invisage this as being much easier for pupils to create a CV at the end of their school career.
As a teacher this seems to be a more efficient way of creating pupil profiles.
Maureen Atkins – St Aidan’s
I’m in!..don’t know what to do next!
At St Aidans we are planning to give every S1 Tutor group pupil an e-portfolio initially.
