A Thuisti,
Facebook Grant
As I mentioned last week we have received a Facebook grant to the value of €21,564. The application was cross generational. It will be used to help improve the digital literacy skills of the elderly in our community -Rathfeigh Nursing Home, the ‘Tuesday Club’ at the RST Centre and adult computer classes in the school. We will also use the grant to purchase chrome books and interactive whiteboards to assist the children in their digital literacy skills. We look forward to working on this project over the next few years.
