Dr. Martin Gormley:

Schools have reported that there is never enough technology in the classroom. That is what we hear. One hears things about Chromebook trolleys, iPad trolleys and sharing resources. If we can tap into partnerships that are there that would be good. The school I mentioned earlier, Errigal College, has tapped into Optum, a local health provider, in the context of software. Optum has helped out in partnership in order to equip a lab. That is something the school went out and did. Another example is the Abbey Vocational School, which also tapped into a local company to equip a computer science lab fully. There are opportunities but if there was something more strategic at a national level, rather than schools having to go out begging, it would be better.
