Hi, my name is Kathleen and I am Principal Teacher of Port Ellen Primary School, Isle of Islay. I am sitting here writing this entry because I am excited about where A Curriculum for Excellence is leading us in our profession and in turn where being part of GLOW will take us. I am looking forward to working with people who feel the same way and also to exchanging ideas – I’m always on the lookout for a good idea! Islay and Argyll and Bute in general have seen quite a few exciting developments both within the curriculum and in ICT over the past while and this has led to some exciting work in learning and teaching -I have enjoyed being part of this. I work with a good team of people who feel the same way and are very supportive of me in my role as ICT co-ordinator within the school. We have just had a busy week of forward planning and  have worked hard to incorporate ICT skills into cross curricular work – using it as a tool, not as an add on. And with that thought I’m off to put our hardly used ICT scheme on eBAY -one unenthusiastic owner. Looking forward to working with you!
