The Connect School Evaluation Report Launch

The Connect School Evaluation Report will be launched today by Minister Eamon Ryan T.D., Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources at the Big Picture. The Big Picture is located at the last stop of the Luas in Tallaght.

The Evaluation has been carried out by Farrell Grants Sparks.

The Connect School Project is now approaching it's final year, come September the entire student cohort will have been issued with laptops. This, in conjunction with the wireless internet access and the Virtual Learning Environment makes St Aidan's one of the most progressive teaching environments in the country. There are great benefits and challenges inherent in such a ambitious project and these issues are well developed and drawn out by the Evaluation Report. Anyone working in the field of education with an interest in 21st Century teaching and learning will be very interested to read this report.

The full report will be available online once it is launched.

Watch out for a short film on the Connect School Project which will be available here once the Evaluation Report has been launched.
