taking part. In 2019, Scoil Mhuire began to explore new platforms and digital technologies. Understanding the importance of digital literacy for students and the key role of technology in the classroom, Mr O’Keeffe, the school’s IT coordinator, created bespoke videos to support their teachers and students. The work carried out by Principal Denis Keating and all the teachers in the development of digital skills across the entire school community helped Scoil Mhuire adapt to the new way of working when the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the transition to digital and online platforms in March 2020.
