Dublin school to spearhead 'digital satchel' programme [tribune.ie]
- Published: 30 September 2010
A Dublin secondary school is to spearhead a pilot programme which would make bulky schoolbags ? which can weigh over two stone ? a thing of the past.
Mount Temple Comprehensive on the Clontarf Road is due to receive a shipment of USB keys which will contain pupils' textbooks and copies. The pupils will be able to read their books and complete exercises on classroom computers, and submit homework via email or printed copy.
The co-educational second-level school is the first to test the scheme. If it proves successful, there are hopes the initiative will be imitated across the country. A spokesman for the school was unavailable for comment.
