Glow Wikis Launched

We are delighted to announce that Glow Wikis are now live, offering an exciting tool to add and edit web content in collaboration with others; Glow Wikis are an ideal tool for groups of pupils collaborating on projects or for teachers working together on policy documents or shared planning.  

Visit the Glow Wikis homepage where you will find:

  • Links to sample wikis, with help and instructions for setting up and editing your own wiki
  • The link to a National Wiki called Scotland’s Schools. All schools can go to this wiki and add a page for their own school. Over time we hope that this wiki will build into a ‘Domesday Book’ of schools in Scotland in the 21st century. This is now open and ready for you to add your own school’s pages – you can add images, audio and video too, or link to your existing websites and blogs. 

 

Learn how some teachers are already making use of the new tool with their classes, in the Getting Started with Glow Wikis cookbook.

For help and guidance using Glow Wikis visit the Glow Help Forum and post your questions in the forum. 

If you would like to share how you’ve been using Glow Wikis simply comment on this blog post, we’d love to hear from you.
