Our project focused on developing ICT skills amongst the teaching staff in our school. Over the past five years our school has invested heavily in information technology. Each teacher has been supplied with their own laptop and every class has their own electronic whiteboard. Our school has a solid wireless network and we have access to 32 Ipads which can be used by children in the classroom. Although all the physical ICT infrastructure is now in place, it was apparent that as a school both management, teachers and students could be making better use of the ICT facilities available. Our European Development plan involved developing teachers competences in relation to ICT. For example , some teachers had a very poor aptitude for ICT and did not know how to use it properly in the classroom. By availing of funding through the Erasmus program, we hoped that teachers would develop their confidence and aptitude towards ICT. Furthermore, we hoped that they would develop particular ICT skills that it could be used to enhance teaching and learning in the classroom. Our European Development plan also involved developing management competences in relation to ICT - for example how to use IT to disseminate information throughout our school using an internal Intranet and Email communication with staff and parents. It was apparent from our investigations that this knowledge could not be acquired from existing national bodies or agencies. We researched various ICT courses which were available under the Erasmus plus program. These courses were very suited to our needs and objectives. All teachers in our school were invited to take part in the project and those selected had a genuine interest in the use and development of ICT in our school. The teachers also represent a wide area of expertise as they have been chosen from different class levels across the school. By selecting teachers from different class levels, we hoped that the teachers would disseminate the different relevant skills that they learned back to their teaching peers when they returned back to school. We also hoped that by taking part in the Erasmus programme, teachers would also develop contacts with teachers in other European countries and hopefully link up with them to form a Key Action 2 partnerships later on in the future. We found the program to be very successful. Three teachers attended training courses in Malta and another teacher attended a training course in Prague in Czech Republic. Although we found it difficult sometimes to source appropriate courses, we found that the courses chosen were very relevant to our needs and requirements. Initially, we had selected two courses in Greece , but due to the political turmoil in Greece , we found it prudent to request our participants to source a relevant course in a different European country. Teachers attending courses were very impressed with the standard of the courses. They enjoyed meeting teachers from other European countries and sharing ideas with them. The teachers who attended the courses are using IT a lot more in their classes than they were previously. When interviewed and surveyed, students in these teacher’s classes had noticed that their teacher was much more confident and competent in using IT during class. A Department of Education inspector also commented on how impressed he was with the improvement in ICT usage. The NCTE –National Centre for Technology in Education E- learning roadmap (http://www.pdsttechnologyineducation.ie/en/Planning/e-Learning-Roadmap/English-version.pdf) is an criteria based ICT indicator used by Irish schools to identify the levels of ICT competency in Irish Schools . As a direct result of taking part in the Erasmus plus programme and as our teachers level of ICT knowledge and skills have improved, we have moved from the “initial level” of ICT competency (measured in October 2014) to “E- Confident” (measured in December 2015 )in the NCTE E- learning roadmap. School Management are now using IT to help manage the school , for example by keeping student attendance and records online. They are also communicating with parents and the wider community via social media and email. Teachers who participated at the courses disseminated their findings and experiences, inside the school at staff meetings and by developing an Erasmus course noticeboard in the staff room. Other members of staff were very impressed and the number of teachers interested in the next round of applications has doubled. Teachers also disseminated and encouraged other teachers to take part in the Erasmus program when they were attending INTO union meetings , summer courses and CPD workshops. Overall , the Erasmus program was very successful and our school would highly recommend it to any other school who are thinking of taking part.
