A VEC secondary school in Longwood, Co Meath, has become the first Irish school to equip all its first-year students with laptops with e-books installed as part of an initiative pioneered by Intel, Steljes and The Education Company of Ireland (Edco).
A new, innovative approach to delivering the school curriculum for Junior Certificate students has been adapted at St Fintina’s Post Primary School in Longwood, Co Meath. The school is the first in Ireland to equip all first-year students with a Fizzbook Spin tablet -style laptop, which each have a full range of Edco e-books installed upon them.
