Welcome to Archaeology in the Classroom - It's About Time!
Tá fíorchaoin fáilte romhat, welcome to
It's About Time!
This is a collaborative initiative between Limerick Education Centre and the Department of the Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. Our aim is to support the preservation of our archaeological heritage through raising awareness and deepening understanding and appreciation of its richness and diversity.
There are two main sections which contain bespoke lesson plans and multimedia resources supporting both primary and post-primary curricula. To access the full content of the resources it is recommended that Google Chrome or Internet Explorer 9 is used as a web browser (there are currently some compatibility issues with Internet Explorer 10).
In 2013/14 the Irish Examiner newspaper published a series of five heritage based articles based on the Transition Year resource. A digital version of the launch article published in May 2013 is available
