On Thursday, May 2nd , a group of 2nd and 4th Year students attended the 2019 'Schools Digital Champions' showcase at the Foundry innovation centre in Google. The event featured a Samsung Interactive Space, Google Cardboard, a video challenge, project stands, as well as talks and presentations from a number of guests, including Samsung, YouTube, and minister Seán Canney. 4th Year students Aoife Martin, Connie Heather and Rachel Doyle showcased their 'PopUpCup' website. They used weebly to construct the site and sold reusable cups in school to generate environmental awareness. 2nd Year students Sophia Noble, Elsa Brady, Jane Moore and Eimear Joyce showcased their history resources on their class website. They used podcasts, graphic organisers and links to resources to develop resources for History. This was a great opportunity to showcase their creativity and digital skills.
