Glow
The rollout of Glow in Argyll and Bute began in October 2008 and will be complete by June 2010. To date almost 100 school Glow Mentors have participated in the two-day training event and only fourteen schools have still to receive training. In Session 2010-11 there will be a focus on curricular developments related to Glow and connecting parents. Information on Glow can be viewed at the website at: http://www.glowscotland.org.uk/HMIE report on ICT in Scottish Education
HMIE has produced a comprehensive report on ICT in Scottish Education. In preparing this report, inspectors drew on the findings of HMIE’s published reports of inspection and review, and visited pre-school centres, primary, secondary and special schools, colleges and community learning and development (CLD) centres to observe practice and gather the views of learners and teaching staff. In addition, inspectors visited a number of education authorities. A full version of the report can be found at: http://www.hmie.gov.uk/documents/publication/iseictilat.html A separate document is to be published with a series of case studies taken from the visits to various establishments.
