The positive impact of Glow for Teachers
As well as being able to deliver and mark pupils' assignments online, the assessment and tracking tools are a great time saver.
By using the personalised workspace in Glow, teachers have the opportunity to collect resources in one easy-to-search area. It also ensures that working and sharing resources with colleagues is effortless.
The positive impact of Glow on Learners
Glow gives children in primary and secondary education access to world-class, personalised learning opportunities. It does this by housing a range of tools all together in one place, to work on at school or at home.
Learners can collaborate and share with others in their school, local area and other parts of Scotland too - allowing joined-up working the length and breadth of Scotland.
