Having watched the video about Digital Schools in Ireland, it is clearly stated that this project is mainly focused on Primary pupils. The main aim of this awarded plan is to prepare the children for the second level as well as nurturing young children by giving them the access to the tools that will develop their digital competence, affirmed as necessary in the XXIst Century. As regards the opinions of the two children interviewed; their enthusiasm about laptops and tablets can be readily perceived, as the girl mentions some English reading and Mathletics software interaction applications. According to a Microsoft spokeswoman, the company is extremely keen to include technology into Primary schools. She also advocates for the idea of embracing the use of technology as early as possible. According to a Hewlett Packard representative, these initiatives from companies are a foundation stone for the children to achieve many capabilities through the use of digital media. Last of all, the Minister of Education declares that an increased use of digital media is trying to be promoted. According to his opinion, the main transformation it implies is that youngsters can work at school and then take it home to keep on working. In addition, parents can see what is happening.
