Technology

Technology has become a part of every day life for both pupils and teachers in Our Lady of Good Council. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard and has access to iPads on a weekly basis. This affords pupils the opportunity to use technology as a learning tool. Technology is implemented in our day to day teaching and learning.

5th Class learned about electrical energy and investigated current electricity by constructing simple circuits. They became aware of how some electrical appliances work and went about designing a simple circuit by using wire, bulbs and batteries. Finally, they attached their circuit and bulb to their 'Rudolph' art pieces. Very creative!

4th class had great fun playing Minecraft on the tablets. Minecraft develops problem solving and maths skills along with encouraging team work and creativity.

4th Class used the tablets to play games such as 'Archers Arithmetic' to improve and practice their addition, subtraction, multiplication and division tables. They also played 'The Counties Game' to help improve their knowledge on the location of the counties of Ireland.

Senior Infants used Beebots to explore coding and technology. As you can see they had great fun!

Junior Infants were using Beebots and programming them to travel on their road mat.
