Some things to get you started on the professional learning (CPD) Communities
1. Click on the PL Community icon to get to the specialist communities
2. Click on the Scotland map to see the list of local communities
3. The Support area has FAQS, help videos and contact details.
4. Every community has its own hashtag (#stem,
#marysmeals, etc). When you join or share in a
community, you will be prompted to add one or more
hashtags.
5. Almost everything shared on these communities is shared with staff and
guests right across Scotland. Private share items are clearly marked with a
padlock icon. Pupils cannot access these communities.
6. The PL communities are built in the current Glow platform. You
can see your usual Glow menu by clicking on the triangle next to
the Glow icon at the top of the page.
7. Items shared on the PL communities will be moved to the new version of Glow
by December 2013.
8. Given the age of the current Glow platform, there are known issues with
modern smartphones and tablet computers. See the Support area for more
details
We hope your use of these communities helps change the lives and learning of
young people in Scotland.
