“We shared this project with other schools in the authority and also on the national site where different groups can be shared across the country. We feel this is a big part of Cfe and Glow in particular provides the ideal means for doing this. Not only can we set the standard but we can share it. Glow is an excellent vehicle for sharing good practice.”

“As a teacher, for me, it’s great for me to be able to keep in contact with the pupils at the weekend if there was anything else I wanted to reinforce about the homework or lesson intentions. It’s also great for pupils to keep in contact with each other to share their thoughts and idea’s about homework on something that maybe has not been covered in class that day”

Jennifer Neill is a teacher at Alexander Peden Primary School in North Lanarkshire. Jennifer’s remit had been to share a Primary Two class with a probationer teacher and support the other teachers in the school with the roll out of Glow. To do this she regularly met with class teachers to discuss what interdisciplinary work they are completing in class and they looked at ways in which Glow could complement and support this. At present all pupils in the school have Glow logons and are actively using Glow.

In Primary 4 the pupils were looking at story books, so Jennifer decided to use Glow to support this area of Literacy. Scott Clark (North Lanarkshire Glow Development Officer) suggested a website called Artisancam, Picture Book Maker to Jennifer. This resource provides a template which allows pupils to create their own picture book online, and they choose their own text and pictures. The pupils then save their picture book and are given a link so they can access it online. Jennifer provided a page in the P4 Glow Group called Creating a Book. Using this resource Jennifer gave the pupils a task of designing a picture book for Primary 1 and 2 pupils. Within the P4 Glow Group, Jennifer and Scott set up the page with was a Page Viewer of the Artisancam website. She also provided an area where the pupils could share their picture books and added a Discussion Board for peer assessment.

“Through using Glow the pupils were more motivated in doing their PLP’s. We could see them logging on at home and sharing their targets with their parents. By using Glow I was able to teach the children about uploading and downloading to a website.”

Pupils from Meldrum Primary

“I also taught my mum so I felt quite important. I Found it fun, and it was easier to ask questions of another pupil rather than a grown up as I am quite a shy person”.

“I did homework on a powerpoint on Guy Fawkws and the teacher could see it.  The majority of the class did it on Glow, and you could see the others work and get inspiration and also in discussins they would say “I like this part of your work”
