Glow Scotland

Recently I have been in North Berwick and Edinburgh discussing Glow with our partners in the National Parks and Outdoor Learning National Glow Group. I met with Emily Dodd, the Education Officer at the Scottish Seabirds Centre (SSC) in North Berwick. She has an amazing classroom at the harbour and some fantastic technology to back it up. Using large screens, linked to web cams on local islands in the Firth of Forth, I watched, recently born baby seals on the Isle of May. Emily and I will work together to share pictures and video of wildlife in Glow. we want to share some of her pictures of seals, dolphins and puffins. We also talked about a Glow meet session where Emily will tell storys about the local wildlife at different times of the year, starting with a story about local puffins in April. Primary and nursery teachers can look out for news of this event in the new year and download information for taking part in these interactive stories.

On the same day I visited Rebekah Stacks who is an Educational Officer with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. They are in the process of developing more outdoor learning materials and they want to share more of their great video and web camera material in Glow.  Look out for school projects and pictures of wildlife in the National Parks and Outdoor Learning National Glow Group, or upload a project from your school.
