Irish pupils to learn from iLiads
Irish publisher, Gill & Macmillan has embarked on a pilot scheme that put an iLiad in the hands of first year students at Caritas College, Ballyfermot.
St Brendan's class, a group of 18 first year students at the all-girl school will become the first class of students worldwide to replace their text books with the iLiad, an electronic book device, Techcentral.ie reports.
Adrienne Whelan, Principal of Caritas College, said that the school is honoured to take part in this pilot programme. "This is a fantastic opportunity for the girls and staff. We are so proud to have been chosen by Gill & Macmillan to take part in this trial. Our staff and pupils have received training in how to use the different functions of the iLiad and we look forward to exploring this technology together."
