Glow and Teams Tutorials

Home Learning – Online Help 🖥️💻👩‍💻👨‍💻

The main thing to take from the following post is – don’t panic. Please don’t let the information overwhelm you. This is new to us all and we’ll get there!

The two videos below are to lead you through the set up of Glow/Teams on a range of devices and initial usage of Microsoft Teams. Some staff may encourage children to use the different settings within the app whilst live but these should get you started. I hope these help.

If there are any issues, please get in touch. Miss McAllister will be in school so may not be able to answer on here but will be available on sa16mcallisterr@glow.sch.uk or if you call the school 📞

We have found that the best quality and most effective way to use Teams is via the app, downloaded onto a PC or laptop (or mobile device like a tablet/iPad) with a camera and microphone – can be inbuilt or separate hardware. This also allows all participants to view each other on a grid style as opposed to one at a time, as on web browser version. Please see the second link to help with this

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi Foundation have launched a new, free Learn at Home initiative to support parents and young people with coding at home. You don’t need any coding experience to join in, and all of their resources and activities are free forever.

Every Monday, they release new themed code-along videos about projects designed for all levels of ability, and every Wednesday, they host a live coding session. They also provide support tutorials for parents interested in learning about coding tools such as Scratch and Python, and over 200 coding projects with step-by-step instructions that are accessible online at any time — all for free.

Sign up now to start receiving free activities suitable to your child’s age and experience straight to your inbox.
