Glow opens up new opportunities for education. As it continues to grow, more uses for this national education intranet are being discovered.

Going Green, Saving Green
"Public and private schools alike are realizing that going green is a no-brainer.” According to http://www.buildinggreenschools.org/, “If a green school saved $100,000 per year in operational costs, that's roughly enough to hire two new teachers, buy 200 new computers or purchase 5,000 new textbooks.” Reduce your carbon footprint with the new RM One featuring;
In this digital age, the idea of going green seems almost impossible. The use of computers and interactive technologies is essential for exciting and engaging teaching. The downside is that it's a major contributor to electricity bills and carbon footprint. The hardware also takes large amounts of energy to produce and dispose of. RM is balancing these issues with products that reduce paper & power consumption, leave a smaller carbon footprint and can be produced, delivered, and maintained more efficiently.
- Recycled plastic - c20% used in case design
- Available with ecoquiet technology to reduce your school's energy consumption
- Re-useable monitor at end of PC's life
- 'eco' mode settings to reduce the RM One's energy consumption Learn More..

Califone International and RM Educational Software Form Strategic Partnership
SAN FERNANDO, Calif. (August 7, 2009) – Califone International, Inc., and RM Educational Software, Inc., have formed a strategic partnership to promote the use of podcasting for both teaching and learning.
Podcasts provide new ways for students to interact with the content matter, as well as to demonstrate their learning. By creating podcasts, students can display and extend their creativity using audio as a means of self-expression. In addition, teachers can use podcasts to communicate regularly with parents by posting school updates on their Web site. They also can publish lesson guides in a podcast format to help students who many have missed sections, or who simply need reinforcement when completing homework assignments.
“RM Podium was designed specifically for teachers and students. It provides an easy way to script, create, edit, publish, and promote podcasts,” said Gino Baffa, Channel Account Manager for RM Educational Software. “With the Califone MP3 player, students and teachers can create and share valuable content with ease. And, since the Califone MP3 Player is designed for the education market, keeping in mind the safety of students and the need for durability in the classroom, we feel that these two products are truly complimentary.”
“Podcasting is empowering students from being consumers to producers of information,” said Tim Ridgway, VP of Marketing, Califone International, Inc. “In combination with RM Podium, users of the Califone MP3 Player can participate in and create activities easily and efficiently, including science projects, book reports, interviews, homework, school news, professional development training sessions, and more.”
RM Podium and the Califone MP3 Player are especially useful in special needs and ELL classrooms, where students may need additional reinforcement or teacher guidance outside the classroom. Recording a podcast in a language learning environment can illustrate to the teacher how well a student’s pronunciation, diction and understanding have progressed over time.
Visit http://www.rmeducation.com/podium/overview for more information about RM Podium and to download a free 30-day trial.
The easy-to-use MP3 Player includes dual headphone jacks – an industry first – making it ideal for learning centers, language labs and libraries. The company’s teacher-tested 8100-HP headphones are included with the MP3 Player, which is made with rugged ABS plastic for durability and classroom safety.
To order, contact a Califone dealer. For more information on the full line of Califone products designed for the education market, and safe for school and library use, call 1-800-722-0500, or visit www.califone.com to view and download the entire Califone catalog.

GLOW, Scotland's National Education Intranet delivered by RM, Receives Highest Honors at 2009 Global Learning Impact Awards
The IMS Global Learning Consortium (IMS GLC) today announced the results of the world’s annual competition of high impact use of technology to support and enhance learning. Glow, the world's first national intranet for education, comes out on top receiving the highly distinguished platinum award.
Managed by Learning and Teaching Scotland and delivered by Research Machines (RM), Glow is the world's first national intranet for education. Preparation for Glow began with phase zero, which involved checking that Glow could use existing data, provided by local authorities, to automatically create the anticipated 800,000 accounts. Glow was then piloted over a number of stages, all of which introduced new components. Feedback was then taken from the 13 local authorities and 3000 users (made up of teachers, students and local authority staff) involved in piloting. This feedback led to further improvements and the launch of the full system at the Scottish Learning Festival in 2007. Since the rollout of the live service began in 2007, 16 out of the 32 Scottish local authorities are now live with Glow and numbers are rapidly continuing to rise. The central Glow team is working with local authorities to ensure Glow is rolled out in an appropriate manner tailored to the needs of each local authority. The main purpose of Glow is to enhance the quality of learning and teaching in the classroom by fully supporting the delivery of Curriculum for Excellence. Learn more about Glow at http://www.ltscotland.org.uk/.
The Learning Impact Awards (LIAs) recognize use of technology to improve learning across all education segments and in all regions of the world. The finalists were evaluated by an expert panel of judges and the attendees at the IMS annual Learning Impact conference and Summit on Global Learning Challenges. The Learning Impact conference brings together leaders from supplier, educational, and government organizations focused on improving access, affordability, and quality of education worldwide. This year’s conference featured record attendance of global leaders from 25 countries and six continents. The LIA awards are unique in that they recognize the use of technology in context. Nominations include not only information about the technology but how it is used by an education provider. In addition, the entries are evaluated according to eight criteria of impact, including improving access to learning, improving affordability of learning, and improving the quality of learning.
