Renfrewshire ICT Blog

Tomorrow sees the start of preparation for phase 2 of Glow piloting in Renfrewshire.  We have two meetings tomorrow: one for the pilot schools and the second for the mentors.  In the afternoon the four pilot schools: Barsail and St Fillan’s primaries and Johnstone and ParkMains High schools will learn about what is expected of them as they pilot the use of the new tools which have been added.  A day’s workshop is planned for the pilot schools before Easter with the main period of time with the children likely to be the couple of weeks after Easter.  The twilight session will brief the glow mentors so that they know what is going on this time round.  We are also planning practical workshop sessions for these folk, one of these will be a virtual workshop.  All those who have agreed to be involved in this have agreed to be involved in the workshops so that we can get some solid feedback for the Glow team.  The pilot is due to run from the 19th of March to the 3rd of May.  This time staff will be able to get access to the system wherever they are.  This should make things a lot better for everyone trying to get a good feel for what Glow is all about.

After the meetings tomorrow I shall post the powerpoint presentation here so that anyone else can keep up to date with what is going on.
