ICT in the Classroom eBulletin – Issue 7

Dec 12, 2012 | ,

This is the seventh of David Ganly’s ICT in the Classroom eBulletins. 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.

Book Review: And the Blood Flowed Green

Dec 12, 2012 |

We really enjoyed this futuristic and funny book.

It’s probably more suitable for boys than girls and those with an interest in space and science-fiction.

The action is fast-paced and the illustrations really add to this.

The plot is forever twisting but there’s lots of humour in them too.

We loved all the different creatures and planets. read more…

Bill’s New Frock

This resource provides a chapter by chapter list of questions for the Anne Fine novel “Bill’s New Frock”. The novel tells the story of Bill Simpson who wakes up one morning to find that he’s a girl, and worse still, his mother makes him wear a frilly pink dress to school. How on earth is he going to survive a whole day like this?

The novel is probably suitable for Rang I – III. read more…
