Please note this page will continue to be updated over the coming weeks as departments add more resources for pupils to access at home.
Secondary school senior pupils will want to minimise the impact of school closure on their exam performance. Materials such as past exam papers and other teaching aids can be accessed on-line either from Glow, the school’s web site or directly from the SQA site.
Many National 4, 5, Higher and Advanced Higher courses are also supported through the Scholar program . Pupils will find comprehensive online study guides, interactive learning materials and activities, assessments and revision packs on a range of subjects. Access is controlled by unique log in and password which pupils will get from their school. Pupils can also access Scholar through Glow without the unique login password (Only Glow Username & Password required).
Pupils who have access to their Glow accounts will find a range of information provided by their own teachers in some of the subject areas that will be very helpful to provide continuity for their learning. Pupils may know these as TEAMS, which is part of GLOW. Class teachers may have created a class TEAM to share work directly with the class. We have created a TEAM for each year group. These have been split into channels for each subject.
Should any pupil require their GLOW login details then please e-mail: technology@calderhead.n-lanark.sch.uk .
To access TEAMS on your phone or tablet. Download the Teams app then use your Glow email address and glow password to login to the app. Your Glow email address is your glow login followed by @glow.sch.uk. Remember that you can also download and install Microsoft office on your home computer by clicking on the Office 365 Home Tab on the Glow homepage.
