The TeachNet Portal is currently undergoing a major revamp. Our new site will provide better integration of resources, blogs, podcasts, and courses As part of the redevelopment of the TeachNet portal we will also be encouraging interested primary and post-primary teachers to join the TeachNet Community of practice. As part of this community you will be kept up to date with relevant news relating to ICT in Irish education and updates on all TeachNet activities. In addition members will receive free hosted online space (powered by Windows Live) including, email, blogging, online storage and Office Online and more. This redevelopment will take some time so we appreciate your patience during the transition. For a preview of the proposed new site click here.

Primary School Curriculum Celebrates 10th Birthday
To mark the the tenth anniversary of the launch of the Revised Primary Curriculum the NCCA (National Council for Curriculum and Assessment) has launched a project, called ‘Get Snapping!’, which invites primary schools to submit digital photos with a suitable caption of the curriculum in action.
The Primary School Curriculum was launched in 1999 and aims to develop the full potential of every child while recognising the uniqueness of each child.
The purpose of the 'Get Snapping!' project is to acknowledge and share the work and dedication of schools in guiding and supporting children’s learning with this curriculum over the past ten years.
