8 teachers from 4 schools attended, 2 per school. Dr EamonnMcCauley and Prof Monica Ward facilitated the day. Dr McCauley: “we believe the COPs are the right method to bring the use of quality digital tools into the classroom, we want to collect evidence to this, every time we hold a COP”.

Teachers were set several interactive tasks with regular online surveys to test the methodology and feedback. From the initial icebreaker session to sharing the IT tools they already worked with, learning about new ones to mapping the targeted learners in their classrooms, teachers went home with a host of new knowledge and ideas on how to start increasing the use of Apps for reading and writing. The Irish COP is setup and until the next one in March, will continue interacting on the Loop platform.It was a great first COP 😊
