Sharing resources and content on Scoilnet
Teachers can also share and upload their own teaching and learning resources to Scoilnet for other teachers and students to access, providing they have a Scoilnet account. This video shows the process involved in both creating an account and uploading a resource.
Scoilnet Learning Paths
Once you have signed in with your Scoilnet account you can also create a ‘Learning Path’. This is a collection of resources from the site that can be shared with learners so that they can access safe and reliable sources of information at home. In this manner, you can assign project work, consolidate a previously taught topic and/or promote independent inquiry for distant learning.
