Larne High teachers are top of the class

Maureen Parker and Neal Kernohan were recognised for achieving excellence in fostering the use of ICT resources at the LearningNI User Awards held at a conference in the Odyssey, Belfast.. They join an esteemed group of over 150 schools and education professionals across Northern Ireland in achieving the LearningNI Awards.

LearningNI, a secure online learning environment provided by C2k with the support of the Department of Education, allows new methods of teaching and learning for both teachers and pupils.

LearningNI includes a library of digital resources licensed from educational publishers and is customised to the revised Northern Ireland Curriculum. Northern Ireland currently has the world’s largest online learning resource which is managed through C2K and connects over 350,000 users. It also contains a range of safe areas for learners to learn online with one another and their teachers, supplementing the learning which takes place in the classroom.

Presenting the award, Stephen Roulston from C2k said, “It is a great achievement for everybody who successfully completed the LearningNI User Award and we encourage them to go further and work towards the Learning NI Leader Award to ensure that teachers and other education providers are fully equipped to provide the highest level of education for children across Northern Ireland.”
