Get your new website hosted here with Scoilnet!
The Scoilnet webhosting-blogging service provides both a website hosting and a blogging service for Primary and Post Primary schools. The Scoilnet blogging service allows schools to easily develop a school website or school blog and host it for free on the schools broadband network. The blogging service supports different types of content, including text, images, audio, including podcasts and video clips.
Both the blogging and webhosting service are currently available to schools via the NCTE Service Desk, so schools who contact the Service Desk will receive information on how to get webhosting and blogging up and running. NCTE are still in the process of improving our processes and documentation and we’re also developing a Scoilnet Blogging CPD training course for schools which will be available to teachers. During this period the service is in ‘beta’ or ‘trial’.
