As part of the Centenary Celebrations of Mary Immaculate College Limerick, and in keeping with the spirit of IT 2000, a Computerland Project has been organised for primary school children with the support of Dell Computers and Microsoft. A special computer laboratory, with 30 Dell PC's and a selection of Microsoft software, has been established within the College for this purpose. The project began on Monday 20th April and continues until June 26th.
Student teachers are on hand to assist the children during their visit.
Free Information Technology Awareness sessions for teachers have also been organised, giving them an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of computer hardware and software in the classroom. Mary Immaculate College. Sue Lyons, Education Department.
