Maybe, I think differently about my job and the role I play within the organisation. Maybe, I don’t have any formal qualifications but I’ve got nearly thirty years of experience. Maybe, that has a value. Maybe, I’ve got more to give. Maybe, I need to open my mind to the world around me and the opportunities it offers. Maybe, I need to change my attitude. Maybe, I need to be more open to new experiences and ways of doing things. Maybe, I am!”

Economics and Skills Skills supply is dictated in part by the individual returns to investing in those skills and by the general level of awareness of those potential returns. Economic theory, however, is predicated on the assumption that individuals will always make rational decisions.

Economics and Skills Skills supply is dictated in part by the individual returns to investing in those skills and by the general level of awareness of those potential returns. Economic theory, however, is predicated on the assumption that individuals will always make rational decisions. In reality, an individual’s decision to undertake investment in education or training is often inﬂuenced by non-economic considerations including personal and family circumstances, gender and class background P 31, The Expert Group on Future Skills (2007) 5th Report Tomorrow’s Skills Towards a National Skills Strategy Centre for Research and Innovation in Learning and Teaching National College of Ireland

Goals Draw on emerging theory to develop a framework for conceptualising digital literacy in the context of Irish primary education. Investigate structured digital media practices in classroom contexts in four primary schools in the Digital Hub area. Three questions: (1) the nature of student engagement and participation, (2) the adequacy of the newly developed framework (3) the degree to which such activities foster traditional literacy skills .
