December 2011

Welcome

Just a short update for you this month. We would like start by congratulating Riona Fitzgerald who had a baby girl on 7th December. We wish her, baby Aoife and the whole family well.

CLiC Community

We are sorry to have lost People with Disabilities in Ireland (PwDI) as CLiC partners due to the withdrawal of their funding. The centre successfully provided a number of valuable CLiC funded ICT courses over the years for people with disabilities. We wish all the staff and past students the very best for the future.

Pearse House has joined the CLiC community and will be providing after schools ICT activities for children and organising adult courses in the New Year. We look forward to working with the team there.

CLiC Schools

We have a short animation for you this month. It was made by Hailing Zhou from Stanhope Street Seconday school. She used Pivot Stickfigure Animator to make the video. The program only uses straight lines and circles so you can appreciate the amount of talent and time it took to complete the work.

CLiC News

We were delighted to have had our CLiC News www.clicnews.ie website shortlisted in the Education category in the ‘2011 eircom Spider Awards’. Three members of CLiC’s news team attended the formal ceremony on behalf of everyone involved with the website, Kate Shanahan DIT lecturer, Liam Keegan former editor and Yvonne O’Loughlin current editor.

Finally

We did mention that it would be short. We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
