SMS Generator
I just came across this great new tool for the classroom on Russell Tarr’s Class Tools website. It is called an SMS Generator. This tool allows you to create a mock text message conversation within this free online tool. It is a really easy tool to use and so effective. To begin the conversation, you click on the speech bubble in the bottom left hand corner. A dialogue box opens up for you to type in the text. When you are finished, you click OK. To get the next person to reply, you click on the speech bubble on the bottom right hand corner this time and enter the reply. You can repeat this process as many times as you wish and there is no limit to the length of the text conversation. read more…

Footloose as Gaeilge
Seo na focail agus an fís-scannán don amhrán “Footloose”. B’fhéidir go bhfuil an fonn ar eolas ag na daltaí sna hardranganna ón scannán “Footloose”. (beidh sé ar eolas ag an múinteoir, cinnte!) Mar sin, b’fhéidir go dtaitneoidh sé leis na daltaí agus beidh suim acu chun é a fhoghlaim. Bheadh sé an-oiriúnach do Sheachtain na Gaeilge freisin.

Young theatre audiences and their families can experience Shakespeare in a fun and imaginative way when UK writer and actor Tim Crouch performs in March at the national theatre, on the Peacock stage. I, Peaseblossom and I, Malvolio introduce two of the Bard’s better known plays through their lesser known characters with disarming theatricality. Tim most recently wooed audiences with acclaimed performances of I, Malvolio in New York and Vancouver. Paying tribute to Tim Crouch’s artistry, Fiach Mac Conghail, Director of the Abbey Theatre said: “I am delighted to bring such a talented artist for the first time to our national theatre and I know that Tim’s shows will inspire a new generation to be curious about Shakespeare.” read more…
