STEP 2 TECHNOLOGY (ICT): We are a Digital School of Distinction! We love using ICT !!
What did we do? 

1. We have developed PowerPoint presentations for all sorts of areas including story PowerPoints for ceative writing. 
2. We have developed a school web site, this science web site, a Creative Schools Blog (we have just got word that we have achieved a Creative Schools Award for 2015 for our storytelling blog). We use Weebly to make web sites. 
Our school web site is www.knockconanns.weebly.com
Our science site is www.knockconansciencelog.com
Our creative schools blog 2015 is at 
https://sites.google.com/a/ednet.ie/knockconanstorytellers/
3. Second and third  class participated in the Irish Computer Society Scratch programme. 

They have worked on lessons 1 -10 and we are now applying for our Scratch certificates. (Senior classes have already participated in Scratch last year)
4. We use IXL.com for practising our Maths skills (from Rang 3 up) We get certificates and emails to tell us about our progress. 
5. We use spelllingcity.com for practising our spellings (every week from Rang 1 up)
6. We took part in TECH Week 2015. 
7. We used an online facility to upload our stories to create a "WE ARE WRITERS" book which is being published for all our parents to buy.



Here are some PowerPoint presentations.....We use PowerPoint for fiction and non-fiction.

Our Creative Schools site is at https://sites.google.com/a/ednet.ie/knockconanstorytellers/
We worked on story telling and we kept a blog on our work. We uploaded our writing and illustrations onto this site.

Our Creative Schools web site was created on Google sites.

We took part in TECH Week 2015. There were lots of activities such as checking to see if your password is good or bad, Scratch and learning about the technology in our lives. Here we are photographed inside a Tech Week viewfinder.
