Scoilnet is the Department of Education's official portal for Irish education. Originally launched in 1998, the website is managed by Oide Technology in Education on behalf of the DE. Scoilnet collaborates with practising teachers to maintain and manage the content on the website.
Here is an overview of the services and supports we provide to teachers and schools.
Scoilnet.ie contains a database of over 24,000+ online resources including websites, quizzes, lesson plans, notes, video/audio, games and other multimedia. You can access our resources from the blue search box at the top of every page.
Scoilnet.ie has been developed as a support for teachers at both primary and post-primary levels and, as of 2014, provides teachers with the option to share and upload their own teaching and learning resources.
Further information on Scoilnet's resources and other content may be found in the FAQ section.
Scoilnet actively promotes the integration of ICT in teaching and learning and as a result has been involved in developing a number of independent websites with specific relevance to the Irish curriculum. This has been done in conjunction with professional development and curriculum support services, and other relevant organisations.
It includes the following sites:
Scoilnet is also engaged in the provision of a webhosting/blogs service to all schools. This makes it easier for schools to develop and host their school website or blog on the Schools Broadband Network. Moreover, it's free. Read more about Scoilnet Webhosting/Blogs here.
