Tráth na gCeist 2013

by admin on 13/03/2013

Tráth na gCeist 2013Ocht babhta le sé cheist i ngach babhta, babhta réitigh chomh maith le freagraí go léir ar 127 sleamhnán Powerpoint. Tá an tráth na gceist seo an-oiriúnach don CBI (IWB) sa seomra ranga nó i halla na scoile. Tá sé oiriúnach do pháistí sna meán ranganna agus sna hardranganna. I mo scoil fhéin eagraítear é go bhfuil dalta amháin ó rang 3,4,5 agus 6 ar gach foireann. Rinne mé iarracht go mbeadh ceisteanna éasca agus deacair i ngach babhta.

David teaches in Donabate Community College and he says that the eBulletin started off as an idea he had to engage and encourage teachers in his school to use ICT in the classroom. After putting the first edition together he soon realised that it would be more beneficial if he made it open for any teacher to use, so he then decided to circulate it through his email contacts, the CESI list and Edmodo.
