INVITATION TO TAKE PART IN A RESEARCH STUDY
You are being asked to take part in a research study that will investigate how effective the use of Twitter is in the primary classroom. My name is Kirsty McKay and I am a fourth year teaching student from the University of Dundee. The research from this study will be used by myself and is supervised by Anna Robb.
PURPOSE OF THE RESEARCH STUDY
Participation in this research would benefit staff working within a school and parents as it aims to find out whether or not Twitter is an effective communication tool to encourage parental involvement. This research would also benefit myself in relation to my own professional development and can inform my future practice.
You can find out more about Kirsty’s research and access her thesis questionnaire at Twitter in the Primary School Classroom.
Yes it’s that time of year again when we welcome Santa back to Glow TV! Santa will be taking a break from making all the toys at the North Pole to come to a school in Scotland to answer all the questions that you might have about Christmas and Santa.
How does he make all the toys? How does he deliver them all on time? What does he feed his reindeer? How does Rudolph help him with his red nose? These and many many more questions will be answered in this very special Glow TV event on Wednesday 16th December at 11am.

RCSEd Christmas Lecture 2015- Lights, Camera, Action – Optics for Healthcare. Join us on Monday 7th December at 1.45pm for our annual lecture from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
Light is amazing. Light plays a vital role in our daily lives and enables exciting new cross-cutting discipline of science in the 21st century.
UNESCO has designated 2015 the International Year of Light to recognise the importance of raising global awareness about how light-based technologies address many modern challenges. Professor Dholakia will talk about how we may use light in medicine and the clinic. Emerging applications in imaging, therapy and diagnosis will be discussed at scale levels from the size of a large organ right down to a single molecule in a cell in your body. The future is certainly bright!

In March this year Education Scotland published ‘Building Society: Young people’s experiences and outcomes in the technologies’. This impact review recognised how important this area of the curriculum is in preparing young people for the world of work.
Technologies at work is a series of Glow TV sessions that will allow young people to interact with people who have made a career through working in a range of different industries. Each month we will record and share links to interview/conversations with real people working in technology related industries.
These recorded films will be available through Glow Broadcasting and you can watch these at a time and place that is appropriate for you and your learners. You will then be able to login at a later date (which will normally be between 2 and 4 weeks after the recordings have been made available for a live Glow TV session) where you and your learners can ask the interviewee any questions.
An introductory video is available on: https://meet.glowscotland.org.uk/p2alau4lrnv/ and Harry Boyce will be available during this Glow TV session on 8th December at 11am to answer all your questions.
