German.ie is a portal site created by and for German teachers and students in Ireland and is part of the Scoilnet portal. The development of the site is a result of collaboration between Scoilnet, The Department of Education (Inspectorate), the Goethe Institute, the German Teachers' Association and the Austrian Embassy in Ireland.
The site aims to provide resource material for teachers and students through the opportunity to consult pedagogical material online.
The main feature of the site is a database of resources accessible through the Resource Finder or Thematic Tag Cloud which are designed to get the reader directly to the web resources they require. Readers choose the skill or theme they are covering in class and they find specific webpages that have been selected and catalogued by practising teachers of German.
All material is presented within an environment that includes a
forum and newsletter supporting the teaching of German in Ireland. It
offers an ideal opportunity to expand and extend the use of ICT in
language teaching.
As German.ie is part of Scoilnet it carries the same terms & conditions and respect for privacy as the parent website.
