Work Placement to Develop Primary School Material

TWENTY GRADUATES of technology or teacher-training college couirses are to gain work placement positions in Microsoft Ireland to help develop digital material for primary and post-primary school curriculum. The graduates will work with the National Centre for Technology in Education. Their work supports the integration of ICT into teaching and learning. They will be employed under the Government's graduate back-to-work programme which allows them to retain their social welfare entitlements during the nine month placement. This news interests a large swath of our creative multimedia graduates (some pictured at right) because all of them have proven expertise in the production of e-learning material.
