My first port of call during this summer holiday was to London to stay with my wonderful Grandmother. As always, during my trips there, I like to catch up with as many of my friends and family as possible. My very good friend Karen McCrone is a teacher of Media Studies at the Charles Darwin School in Biggin [...]
What a glorious day! In addition to the weather, I experienced my first ‘Chat’ and ‘Video-Conferencing’ via the Glow portal. I frequently use both MSN and Skype to communicate online with friends and colleagues, so I was particularly curious to find out how the Marratech and Java applications would compare when used through the Glow [...]
Having now accessed the portal from both school and home, Dave and I are getting on well with catagorising and collating Usernames, Passwords, Glow Groups and member privileges. We have also made a start at implementing and assigning Glow tools, though this will really need to be completed when we are together in person (Skype [...]
Following today’s meeting Dave and I met so we could make a start on organising usernames and passwords. After Dave established how to find these, I decided to do a bit of further investigation.

What happened here?

I received excellent news this morning. I just couldn’t wait until I got home today so I thought I would write a quick post during my morning break. Glow is coming back for phase 2. I am very pleased and excited to say that Knox Academy will be involved in the phase 2 pilot. This [...]
My INT 1 Biology class and I are very excited. We have been asked by RM and LTS if we would like to take part in a small training video clip. This will take place at Knox Academy on Tuesday afternoon. The clip will illustrate our work and experiences of the Phase 1 2006 Glow [...]
Yesterday, Paul Smyth returned to Knox to join my INT1 Biology class and I. He was accompanied by his colleague,
Alan Atwell from LTScotland.
We are currently working on ‘Alcohol And it’s Effects’. Today the pupils were creating new slides for their projects using my suggested links. They could also download my revision notes (PowerPoint) that [...]
Yesterday, I arranged a very last minute glow session with a few East Lothian ‘Glow’ colleagues. Initially, Dave R, Brian C and I decided to meet so that we could explore the glow portal further. After a few skype chats and a couple of emails on Monday night, our trio developed into a small gathering. [...]
