1913 Lockout Resources
Again, thanks to Twitter, I was alerted to this resource pack put together by South Dublin Libraries who, in 2013 in association with Poetry Ireland (Writers in Libraries Scheme), presented Writing History: 1913 Lockout, a project which brought two authors to six schools via the library service.

Seomra Ranga’s 6th Birthday!
Today Seomra Ranga celebrates its sixth birthday, six years of free resources on the web! Quite a lot has happened in those six years.

For something that started out as a way to relieve the boredom of being stuck at home sick for a week, the site has grown so much in the intervening years to become a staple of the Irish online educational landscape. read more…
