We would request that if children have access to a phone or tablet they download the following free apps to support with learning through glow:

- Microsoft Word
- Microsoft One Note
- Microsoft Powerpoint
Downloading Microsoft Apps and Logging in for the First Time
The instructions on the link below will show you how to log into the apps.
To download Microsoft Office 2016 from the Glow Application Library, search for the ‘Office 365’ tile, shown here. It can be found on the National (Scotland) Launch Pad or you can add it to your own Launch Pad. Further help on the App Library is available here.
