38. Interview with teachers Kathy Crehan – Ennis Community College “We simply don’t know how to effectively integrate technology into the classroom, In my school we have wonderful technology available for our use, interactive whiteboards, projectors, a computer lab, and we even have 2 personal computers in every classroom, the students love it when I use these resources, it improves their intention span greatly, however I can’t use this equipment as I much as I would like to, because it’s so difficult to find adequate sources online to coincide with what the students are learning”

39. Interview with teachers Sarah Eyers – Barefield National School on Copernicus “This is a fantastic idea, what the children see in the textbooks rarely has impact, providing colorful descriptive images is simply not enough to stimulate a child learning interest, bringing their textbooks to life, by making them interactive, is how today’s children should be learning, it would make my job a lot easier, and greatly enhance my student learning experience by making their studies more fun, but even more important it would make their learning more meaningfully”.

42. Student Survey Results Would you like to use Computers more in school? 100% - Yes
