Brackloon NS are working towards their first certification in the school year 2022/2023 There is a very strong ICT presence in the school with a suite of I pads and over 20 laptops available to students. Each classroom is fitted with an interactive whiteboard and the wifi broadband is excellent. The school website/blog and facebook account is current and displays the work of the pupils. There are a wide range of projects on display in the school and the pupils are proud of their achievements and are very motivated and supported by ICT in their learning. The teachers share resources using G suite for Education. The Facebook account keeps the community aware of the current school projects and there are many other examples of pupil’s work such as photos of trips, sport achievements etc. We are lucky here in this school to have such a dynamic, flexible and forward thinking Board of Management, parent body and staff. Everyone has embraced the implementation of ICT in the school. Most of all we are so fortunate to have such fantastic pupils attend our school. The facilities we provide for these wonderful young people are preparing them for the digital world and knowledge based society in which they will one day work . |
