P4-7 Guidance for Glow
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 Teams – This is their online classroom.
- Microsoft One Drive – This enables the children to save work to upload to their team. It also allows them to access their documents at home and school.
- 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.
To download the software to a PC or Mac, click on the Office 365 tile and follow the instructions. More information from Microsoft is available here.
If you are downloading to an iPad or iPhone, you will need to download the apps from the App Store then log in using your Glow username. More information from Microsoft is available here.
It is also possible to download the apps from within Microsoft O365. To do so, click on the Office 365 link in the top left of your screen. This will take you to the O365 home page. Click on ‘Install Office 2016’ and follow the instructions.
Entering your username
When logging in, you will be asked to enter your username – this is your Glow username plus the domain e.g. gw15examplejames@glow.sch.uk. You will then be transferred to the Glow login screen.
Once you have entered your login details here, your registration will be complete. The Glow username will only activate the software for as long as that account is active in Glow.

Saving Seesaw Profiles
Thank you for your patience as we navigate the world of Seesaw!
New logs in will go home with Primary 1-4 at the end of this week. They expire after a year, so that is why your current one isn’t working.
Primary 4 will no longer to use Seesaw but will move to Teams, it will take them a few weeks of training on how to use Teams before they start to use it as a journal.
For families who where at Calderwood Primary in 2021-22 we will archive those clans. This means you have 30 days to download their journal from their previous clan. You need access to a netbook, laptop or computer to do this and can do this as explained below:
- Tap profile in top left
- Account settings
- Scroll down to the bottom and click download archived journal
Or:
- You should be able to highlight all the files
- Right clicking and choosing print then choosing Print to PDF from the dialogue box
