Mentor Activity in Shetland

In December last year, the Glow team visited Shetland to work with their Glow Mentors and Pioneers. The training will provide Mentors and Pioneers with the skills and knowledge to be able to support schools throughout the rollout of Glow across Shetland.
During the programme, Mentors discussed many ideas about how Glow can support and enhance learning and teaching and collaboration in Shetland as a remote authority. This was put into action with plans to link a school in Shetland with a school in East Dunbartonshire. They are also very excited about the potential of Glow for international communication.
Following the Glow training three schools in Shetland will participate in the local Glow pilot. There are also a number of suggestions for impromptu Glow Groups connected with specific projects. These include a Group to support a project linking primary schools in Shetland with a London school.
