ICT in Lucan Community National School
Video Overview
A school principal outlines how ICT is used in a purposeful way throughout the school. She provides a full overview from the ICT vision in the school to accessing resources to whole school planning.
Description
Principal talks about how their school has used technology to facilitate mobile learning. Infants have their own iPads and are taught how to use them correctly in school and at home. The school focuses on teaching digital citizenship so the children understand technology. Eportfolios are used from infants to 6th class and the children can carry their portfolios onto secondary school. Principal gives advise to other principals who are looking to do the same in their schools: Have a clear vision and set short term and long term goals with your staff.
