| "Mooney Goes Wild" |
| The RTE nature Programme "Mooney Goes Wild" has just launched a new schools environmental/web project. The closing date for the competition is Tuesday July 31st 2001. The three winning websites will be announced on the programme during September 2001. | |
| If you would like more information about Mooney Goes Wild With Schools, please write to: Sin�ad Renshaw, Mooney Goes Wild With Schools, RT� Radio One, Donnybrook, Dublin 4. e-mail: sinead.renshaw@rte.ie phone (01) 208-2407 The address of their schools site is: http://www.rte.ie/mooneygoeswild/schools/index.html |  |
If you don't already have a website then a 2/3 page nature project might be a practical and fun way of getting your school on the Internet. Most of the work will be the actual nature project. Once you have that completed then the only extra work will be transferring it onto the computer and sending it on to the www. There is plenty of time, so go on, give it a try! Best wishes to everyone.
