The FÍS project is a very effective methodology for the cross-curricular approach to integrating ICT in Primary schools.
Over the years the project has succeeded in helping children to develop essential skills in moving-image literacy, communication and teamwork in addition to exploring curricular topics in an engaging and child-centred way. The result has been that both teachers and children find the experience enriching and rewarding.
FÍS has been affirmed very positively by teachers and children involved as one of the most effective strategies for ICT integration.
