2nd Years Launch Websites

As part of their computers class, 2nd years have each made a website on a topic of interest to them.

To create these websites they had to learn their way through the Google Apps Suite of programs to edit and develop their sites.

They learned how to develop, structure and publish their websites. To give them some added features they learned also how to use Picassa Web Albums to incorporate slideshows in their sites.

Currently they have just set up Google Analytics to help them understand how people interact and use their sites. They will then use this information to improve the stites and add more relevant information to your needs. Please visit their sites and come back often so they can tailor and expand their websites.

Most appreciative thanks must be extended to our generous sponsors, who helped in making this a superb event. Thank you to Clarke’s Books, Munster Business Equipment of Mallow, Moran’s Clothing and Footwear of Charleville and Fitzsimon’s Printers.

During ten rounds of questioning all of the primary pupils thoroughly impressed us with their teamwork and knowledge. Spectacular lucky dip spot prizes and tasty refreshments were very popular among the eager pupils at the half time break. As the end of the quiz came close, excitement was high as the top three placed teams became apparent.
