Granada Learning is a division of the Granada Media Group. Based
in the U.K., Granada Learning has been in the forefront developing
and publishing high quality educational software that is firmly
based in the curriculum. Many teachers and pupils in Ireland are
already familiar with the Granada range. However, this new programme,
Young Writer's Workshop / An Scríbhneoir Óg, is the first programme
to include the Irish language and specific Irish based material.
Recognising the Government's commitment to developing information
technology in schools, with the IT2000 initiative, Granada Learning
has, in conjunction with its Irish partners, agreed to present an
extensive range of software to Education Centres throughout Ireland.
The total value of this material exceeds £250,000.
