Online Platforms
We use two online platforms in Scoil íde.
Our Junior classes ( Junior Infants to 2nd classes) work on Seesaw
Seesaw is an online platform for student engagement.
Students use creative tools to take pictures, draw, record videos and more to capture learning in a portfolio.
Teachers find or create activities to share with students.
Families only see their child’s work and leave comments and encouragement. Learn more about what families see here.
The Senior classes ( 3rd to 6th classes) work with Google Classroom.
Google Classroom is a free education platform that enables teachers to interact with students and share educational materials easily.
Teachers can create classes and invite students to the platform, allowing for the simple sharing of assignments, grades, exams, and other materials. Google Classroom provides a range of tools to help teachers monitor and enhance student development. These tools allow teachers to track and evaluate the progress of students and provide a personalized learning experience that caters to their unique strengths and weaknesses.
Teachers can design classroom activities to make them more interesting and ensure greater student participation. Additionally, materials can be arranged in different formats according to students’ learning styles. For example, different features such as video lessons and interactive activities can be used to help students acquire knowledge in the way that best suits them.
Children are made aware of the School’s Acceptable Use Policy regarding ICT. This policy is available to view under our School Policies tab
