Glow Scotland

Google Earth Training, sponsored by Google facilitated by the Glow team

on the 11th of November and the 19th of January.

This training is aimed at Geography teachers but any teacher involved in teaching with Google Earth or outdoor learning would find it useful. To take part, simply go to the National Site, click on the Glow Groups page tab and then click on the Social Studies National Glow Group in the list.

If you are a member of the group already,  look at the News and the attached Google Earth training program, by clicking on the News and then clicking on the attached file, which is under the main body of text. Then go to the Discussions page and click on Join Glow Meet. Make sure your camera, microphone and speakers or headphones are working correctly before you  participate. More information about how to use Glow Meet can be found in the Glowscotland website.  If you would like to know more about using Glow meet you can contact your local Glow mentor or  myself  m.brown@ltscotland.org.uk.

If you are not a member, be sure to click on the Social Studies National Glow Group  soon to request membership and to give me time to make you a member of the group. It would also be useful to go to the Documents page and click on the Google Earth folder, where there are introductory and advanced guides to using Google Earth. Download these free resources and keep them to hand. If you have time you might like to look at the video clip on the People and Environment page. More information can be found in  Digital Explorer, our presenters web site. Jamie Buchanan-Dunlop will be presenting  in the morning before participants get involved in hands on activitities. You will have the opportunity to ask Jamie questions in Glow meet and later in the day you will see attendees present to each other. I hope you can drop in for a bit.
