Edublog Awards Poster
As you may know, Seomra Ranga is a finalist in the Edublog Awards in the “Best Individual Blog” category. It is up against some really big and well-known blogs from the US and the UK. As these awards are given on the basis of a public vote, I’d appreciate if teachers who use the site would ask their colleagues to vote for Seomra Ranga. You can vote every day at http://edublogawards.com/vote-here/ until December 9th. There’s a downloadable poster for your staffroom to encourage your colleagues to vote. Please print it out and display prominently in your staffroom! Many thanks!
Seomra Ranga a Finalist in Edublog Awards
I was delighted this morning to find out that Seomra Ranga has been selected as a finalist in the international Edublog Awards in the Best Individual Blog category. The Edublog Awards were set up to promote and celebrate the value of blogs and social media in education. Although Seomra Ranga has been nominated before, this is the first time that it has made it through to the voting round. Many thanks to those who nominated Seomra Ranga. Now is the time to ask for your votes. If you are a regular visitor to Seomra Ranga, it would be great to show you appreciation by voting for the website. It is up against some “heavy hitters” from the US and the UK, so it would be amazing to feature in the final selection. read more…

Acmhainní don Ghaeilge ó Foinse
I’ve only recently become aware of some nice Gaeilge resources on the Foinse website. Foinse, the Irish language newspaper, has created a number of resources to support the teaching of Gaeilge in the primary school. They have resources to support almost every one of the ten themes in the Gaeilge curriculum. The resources are arranged under the following headings: Ceachtanna; Cluichí; Póstaeir; Líon na Bearnaí; Míreanna Mearaí; Crosfhocail. read more…
