Digital Schools
The Digital Schools Award Initiative recognises the excellence in a school's approach to the integration of ICT in learning and teaching.
St. Cronan's JNS will be presented with this award on Monday 18th of June by the Minister of Eduction and Skills, Mr. Ruairi Quinn.
This award recognises our efforts to integrate ICT effectively in our school under five categories.
St. Cronan's have excelled in ICT since 2006. We now have a new computer room with 15 pcs, a laptop trolley with 16 laptops and interactive white boards in all our classrooms. Our new website will be launched on the 18th of June 2012. Our school is fully networked with a server. We use Junior Librarian in our library, which recognizes any book we have scanned in, immediately displaying the cover, author, publisher, category etc. The children have access to digital cameras, scanners, printers, digital blue camcorders, interactive whiteboards, internet, educational software and other aspects of technology as part of their day. We use databiz for attendance, reports and standardised testing.
