I've written another blog post to try to justify that bullet point ..... but I'm not sure that it gets the point over that I was trying to make. It probably turned into bit of a ramble as I tried to untangle thoughts as they popped in to my brain. I'm already thinking of another follow-up post that I feel the urge to write - coming up soon! I can identify with what you say in your 'rant'. You've really made me think - so hard that it hurts :-) Blogging's hard work sometimes!!! Thanks for the comment, Jaye.

One thing bothers me slightly though, and thats the wording from the LA presentation which talks about " School-wide challenges will be set from the centre so that staff and pupils are given a real reason to use Glow" This smacks of top-down central control to me, and, in my opinion anyway, will have the opposite effect to the one perhaps intended as schools will see GLOW use as an imposition from on high rather than being within the context of the school's and student's daily work and having come from them...I think it's the fast track to less use of GLOW if it's seen as a project sent down from on high.. I hope that schools in this authority will resist this, and find ways (of which there are so many) to use GLOW to support their own work in learning and teaching in a way thats contextual and relevent to their individual and collective needs as pupils, teachers, classes, age/stage groups and schools...

This smacks of top-down central control to me, and, in my opinion anyway, will have the opposite effect to the one perhaps intended as schools will see GLOW use as an imposition from on high rather than being within the context of the school’s and student’s daily work and having come from them…I think it’s the fast track to less use of GLOW if it’s seen as a project sent down from on high..
