DIGITAL LITERACY & GOOGLE CLASSROOM

 

We are working to embed digital technologies into all areas of school activity, focusing on learning, innovation and continuous improvement. We use a wide range of digital devices including tablets, chromebooks, laptops, and interactive whiteboards. We are also becoming a Google school - using Google Classroom, online applications and games, apps, and media.

 

We are proud to be using Google Classroom in our school. But what is a Google Classroom?

Google Classroom is a free education platform that enables teachers to interact with students and share educational materials easily. Teachers can create classes and invite students to the platform, allowing for the simple sharing of assignments, grades, exams, and other materials. Moreover, while submitting their homework, students can have a more productive learning experience by interacting with classmates and teachers. We have been working with Kilkenny Education Centre in a school project, becoming a Google School and we hope to learn new skills and interact with other local schools.

 
Google Classroom provides a range of tools to help teachers monitor and enhance student development. These tools allow teachers to track and evaluate the progress of students and provide a personalized learning experience that caters to their unique strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, materials can be arranged in different formats according to students' learning styles. For example, different features such as video lessons and interactive activities can be used to help students acquire knowledge in the way that best suits them.
 
We are taking part in the Google Schools Project next year, in partnership with Kilkenny Education Centre, and we hope to develop our Digital Plan further by using our new chromebooks, which we purchased with our most recent ICT grant, amongst the senior class students.
