Digital School of Excellence Award.
Oct 15th
Our school was recently assessed by an accreditor from Digital Schools of Excellence and we are delighted to have been successful. Some seven Donegal schools have received this award. This Digital Schools of Distinction programme is an accreditation, which primary schools can attain by demonstrating ‘excellence in their approach to the integration of ICT in learning and teaching. The benefits of receiving this accreditation include access to an ICT support network, a toolkit to develop an ICT plan for every school, links with other schools in Ireland and external recognition through a nationally recognised award’. There will be an in-school presentation over the coming weeks.
