Tablets, like all forms of technology, are only useful if they can do at least one of two things:

CETSS has decided to become a tablet school for the following reasons:

To give students greater control over their learning and thus to make learning more enjoyable
To enable meaningful differentiation and collaborative learning, both within and between Educate Together schools.
To facilitate a move away from textbooks which limit learning
To enable the use of alternative assessment tools
To give students constant access to online tools and information
To prepare students for digital workplaces
To give students requisite transferable skills for third level education
To teach students how to manage themselves online, in an era of new and enhanced risk

We have decided to collaborate with Wriggle http://www.wriggle.ie/ on the provision of devices for students.
