TO FINISH THIS BLOG…

  To finish this blog…  I want to thank my host-family for welcoming me to their house, let me have the opportunity to meet a lot of new people and know lots of new things about Irish culture and for be very nice and kind with me. I want to thank Scoil Pól too for let me meet new people and make lots of new friends from a lot of different countries. And I want to thank the Erasmus Plus program for give me the opportunity to live this incredible experience which helped me a lot to improve my knowledge and I am sure that is going to be very useful for me in the future.

THE USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY IN MY IRISH SCHOOL

  In Scoil Pól, my Irish school, the students are allowed to use their own laptops or the IPads the school give to the student, but the must keep their phones in their lockers and they have to comply with the netiquette and all the rules written in it. All the rules of the school are equipped with AppleTVs and all the teachers at the school have a MacBook which can connect to the AppleTV and show whatever they want from the MacBook in the projector where the AppleTV is connected to. In all the Irish houses are modern technology, including TVs, phones, consoles and all the technology you can have in house.
