#FollowTheFleet- www.followthefleet.ie is an educational resource designed to bring the world of maritime adventure into the classroom.
The website which is devised by the Irish Maritime Development Office (IMDO), is a simple and effective way for schoolchildren to gain an understanding of the major contribution the maritime industry makes to day-to-day life in Ireland.
The site is an online resource that can be integrated into the SESE curriculum and covers aspects of science, history, geography and trade based on the maritime industry.
www.followthefleet.ie uses a unique satellite tracker system, six easy to follow lesson plans, downloadable teaching plans and regular reports from the captains and crews of Irish owned or operated vessels.
Currently there is an undergoing process of redesigning the existing website. As a subscriber and user of the site, your opinion of www.followthefleet.ie is vitally important to the success and development of the education programme.
An online survey is available to help understand the interaction between users and www.followthefleet.ie
If you could take a moment to fill in the anonymous questionnaire to aid with the research, the survey is accessible here.
The Follow the Fleet team thank you for your continued participation and support of the www.followthefleet.ie programme.
