Including digital technology into the classroom opens the door for endless opportunities to revitalise and refresh our way of teaching and learning for the students in our classrooms. Many children are already so familiar with digital technologies but often view them as recreational and rarely educational. We have the opportunity to guide children towards using technology for both recreational and educational purposes. Through the use of digital tools we can create engaging and interactive learning experiences across all areas of the curriculum from using BeeBots in the infant classroom to integrate digital learning with spatial awareness in Maths to using Minecraft Education in the senior classes to learn about internet safety.
School Self Evaluation allows schools to identify the areas in which they are already succeeding in and celebrate those achievements, as well as finding areas in which they can improve on for the coming year and focus in on those areas, one at a time.  This school year it is my aim to introduce more ICT to my Senior Infant class by beginning slowly through station teaching and building up to intentional whole class lessons.</p>
