iPods:

Co Wexford Education Centre has purchased a set of  20 iPods which can be borrowed by schools for a set period for educational use in the classroom. Prior to borrowing teachers may attend a workshop where they are have a hands on experience of using the iPods and an opportunity to discuss some of the uses of the iPod in school. They will also have an opportunity to discuss apps that are being used in the classroom. Teachers facilitating the project and teachers who are using iPods in the classroom communicate sharing information on apps they are using and new apps they have found.

Learning in Everyday Activities

A planned approach which marries the Primary Curriculum with everyday learning opportunities which parents can re-enforce and support in the home. Infant teachers are introduced to the activities which encompass all the infant Curriculum and are familiarized with the approach.
Infant Teachers then present to parents. Both work with children re-enforcing language and activities.
