Default The future of Glow (Scotland)

Scottish Cabinet Secretary for Education Michael Russell discusses the future of Glow – the schools website.

The Future of Glow

Quote:
Over the next few weeks an online discussion will take place to help share the current thinking on ICT in education – starting on 12 September with a series of blog posts on this website. You can also contribute to the discussion on Twitter by using the hashtag #EduScotICT.

On 17 October the Scottish Government plan to hold an ICT summit at Stirling Management Centre to consider where we have come from, the results of the online discussion, and where we go next. Further details on the ICT summit can be found by accessing http://glo.li/eduscotict.

Article from today's TESS:

High time to shine the spotlight on Glow

Quote:
When Glow was conceived, the idea was groundbreaking, but by the time it hatched, it was so big and cumbersome that it had turned into a dinosaur. Slow and clunky were terms applied to it by a generation of teachers and children who at home were enjoying fast broadband, social networks and video sites. Instead of opening up new avenues, Glow was closing them off with frustrating restrictions. Teachers complained loudly, though some were afraid to, for fear of being reprimanded. So they moved on - who needs GlowMeets for CPD when they can set up their own TeachMeets via Twitter? Even the great and good are doing it.
