Glow be carrying out some Glow Planned Maintenance on Sat 2nd March.
Glow is likely to be unavailable between the hours of 08:00 and 18:00.
If you’re aware of any Glow activities planned on this date please contact David Gilmour or Shirley Lawson.
On Tuesday 29th January, Education Scotland will alert colleagues throughout Scottish education about the value of professional learning (CPD) communities on Glow.
These communities have evolved from the CPDCentral work with which some of you will be familiar from updates over the last few years.
It is hoped to raise the profile of professional online learning (as advocated in Teaching Scotland’s Future report) by providing a place for us to connect, share and learn with each other and support each other to improve our educational practice.
Feel free to visit the home page of the National PL Community on Glow and have a look for yourself. Your colleagues are encouraged to visit the community support area or email plsupport@educationscotland.gov.uk if they have any questions.
As always, we are grateful for the support given by you to make these things possible on Glow. If you have any questions or identify any potential issues, please get in touch using the following email address plsupport@educationscotland.gov.uk.
