A NEW online network for pupils, teachers and parents has been launched by the Minister for Education and Science, Mr Martin. ScoilNet (www.scoilnet.ie) is a free online service featuring extensive curriculum information, chat areas, and special tools for designing personal web pages. The site has been designed to enrich the learning process with additional information, and it allows information and projects to be shared across geographical boundaries between schools and individuals. ScoilNet was created in partnership with the Department of Education and Science, Intel and the National Centre for Technology in Education.
