The Classroom of the Future - A Guide to Using the Internet in Irish Schools

      Produced by Broadcom in association with Michael Hallissy and John Hurley.

      Are you aware that approximately 400 primary and secondary schools are on the Internet taking advantage of the vast libraries of information available? Some of these schools are putting their own project work and information on the Internet for the benefit of schools all over the world. Imagine being able to access the entire works of William Shakespeare, see up-to-the-minute satellite pictures of the earth or sign the White House Guestbook from your own computer, all for the price of a local phone call. If you want to know how you can use the Internet in your classroom or if you want to communicate with colleagues at home or abroad, then this guide is for you.

      The guide explains in plain terms:

      • What is available on the Internet for Irish schools.
      • How the Internet can be incorporated into your day-to-day teaching experience.
      • How to get on the Internet.
      • How to use the Internet once you're on.
      • Where the Internet is going in the future.
