Glow Scotland

When educators in East Lothian first discovered the power of blogs as a communication tool, the medium had something of a bad press, creating a growing demand for blogging in a safe and professionally specific environment. Enter EduBuzz.

Edubuzz is a blogging group for teachers and educators in East Lothian. A number of educational blogs have sprung up across Scotland since EduBuzz first took off two years ago. These blogs provide an ideal forum for teachers to chat, exchange ideas and discuss CPD opportunities.

Most recently, Glow has been a hot topic for discussion, with teachers, educationalists and Glow Mentors exchanging opinions, information about events and more.

Now, the EduBuzz community is migrating into Glow. The blog group will merge intact, being made available through page viewer. This means not only will EduBuzz be available on the external internet, but it will also be accessible through the Glow intranet, parcelling educational resources together in one place.

‘When children publish a blog, the fact that it’s visible everywhere concentrates minds wonderfully,’ explained Martin Brown, Development Officer for Glow. ‘It makes the audience real and everything available just a click away.’
