Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection
Digital Literacy: Discussion
2:10 pm
Mr. Eddie Ward:
Yes. We see our role as making available to schools information that they might need when negotiating new developments, for example, e-books and emerging technologies. We look to the expertise of the Professional Development Service for Teachers, PDST, in sending information leaflets on that subject, in providing information or in making an input at teacher and principal forums. It is a question of trying to keep abreast of events, which we manage to some degree. Obviously, some local issues in individual schools are beyond our reach in terms of management.
