In this latest podcast, Michael Hallissy speaks with Robbie O’Leary, Principal of Sacred Heart SNS, Killinarden. Since the nineties Robbie has been at the forefront of ICT integration in Ireland, writing and lecturing extensively on the subject and also developing a range of educational digital content. A long time advocate of the importance of relevant and meaningful digital content for Irish students, Robbie outlines that the curriculum must be the key driver in relation to the types of digital content used in the school. He strongly recommends the use of a children’s word processor and a digital camera at all grades, explains how his school uses a combination of software and online content to enhance Maths teaching and learning, and lists his top 10 software and digital content titles.

A great podcast again from TeachNet. Always great listen to, and very interesting interview Robbie O’Leary and what he and his school is using technology in education.
Fantastic to see, I’m based in UK (but Irish citizen) as a trainee teacher but looking at work positions in ICT in Ireland/UK right now and great to come across ideas of what schools are using in Ireland.
very interesting, and just added the subscription in itunes.
