John Connell is the man that set up SSDN and has only just handed over the reigns to Marie Doogan. He has been taking part in the K12 online conference, and his contribution is well worth checking out.
John’s presentation is called “Glow: Lighting Up Learning in Scotland” and is available by clicking HERE>>> (Right click and Save as… – then open the saved file with iTunes)
Lots of interesting points, and a good use of including graphics in a podcast.
Because of several instability issues, I have decided to move the PKCGLOW blog to WordPress. You will get the all-new Glow blog at:
See you over there!
Intro – Why we’re here – Opportunity for LA meeting.
Some piloting in November.
GLOW Goody bag!
More or less being left to our selves.
LINDA gave background to PKC involvement with GLOW. PKC going through the legal side of the contract.
SSDN impl plan… key one for mentors is the training plan. Asked for thoughts and ideas about how to take this forward.
Technical Issues – PKC is nearly ready. There are issues but they are eing worked on.
DVD – issues, but value of awareness raising.
Supporting for PKC piloting of Glow. – Mentor involvement will probably be crucial. Hope to include everyone.
MARK Outlines way that we (mentors) can contribute to the programme. NW asked to monitor the wiki (make it secure).
Mentor submissions and review of our experiences at SETT – by week tomorrow (29th?).
LC introduced Neil Stewart – Our RM/LTS link to Glow.
M introduced Ron from LTS. Portal will be ready (possibly) in November… at the moment use existing software (the wiki).
Proposed Training Dates… which could we be considered for? Put possible dates on the wiki for people to chase up. (Check with diary at school).
How we as a group use our time… 7days. SETT/Stig etc leaves 1.5 days to be used. How should we use this time? Possibility of having a meeting after the portal goes live… How should we arrange any meetings… use wiki as a forum – BE SPECIFIC with dates…
Awareness raising for school Headteachers…
GLOW is also going to be about the administration and management of electronic information… this will need to be thought through carefully… we will need to consider the implications.
Timetable for Portal – in school from November to Xmas – shut down for snagging – then re-open in January with home access.
PILOTING – we need to consider what we (as mentors) will try to pilot.
AND FINALLY – 18 places allocated… still looking to recruit some colleagues to fill the remaining 5 places. If we know anyone, tell them to get in contact with Mark or Linda.
Neil to set up RSS feedreader.
Welcome to the PKC GLOW MENTORS’ BLOG…
I’ve set this up as a central point for us to get information as the training proceeds.
See you all at SETT!
