National Tree Week
National Tree Week takes place from 4-10 March 2012. It is an annual, week-long festival celebrating all positive aspects of trees in our lives and environment. It is organised by the Tree Council of Ireland. This year’s theme is ‘Trees – Our Past, Our Present, Our Future’. During National Tree Week, as well as prompting people to plant more trees, people are being asked to celebrate our remarkable heritage of trees and woodlands and to recognise the significance of trees and forests as a living link to our past, as an enjoyable, life-enhancing asset in the present, and as a wise investment in our future. read more…
Update on Teaching Council Election Blunder
Election Process to Start Over Again
Two days ago I wrote a Blog Post about the confusion among teachers over the mix-up in the Declaration of Identity Form issued to teachers for the election of teachers to the new Teaching Council. Two very basic typographical errors were contained in this form which should have been easily spotted by anyone proof-reading the form. In the top section of the form, teachers were asked to fill in the “Elector’s Name” instead of “Voter’s Name“; in the bottom section (which the Witness was to complete), the witness was asked to fill in the “Voter’s Signature” instead of the “Witness’s Signature”. read more…
iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch Apps for (Special) Education
It’s always great to get recommendations of mobile apps for use in an educational setting. Thanks to Mary Foskin (@m2thefizzle on Twitter) for making me aware of this great document with a wide-ranging list of apps sorted into different curricular areas. The list is intended for special education, however many of the apps are very suitable for use in the mainstream class (hence the brackets in the title of the document). The list has been compiled by Eric Sailers, a Speech-Language pathologist. The list also include links to the apps in the App Store which is very convenient. read more…
CESI Conference 2012 Reviews
I spent last weekend at the Computers in Education Society of Ireland (CESI) annual Conference in Portlaoise. It’s always a great event to meet teachers from all three levels of education in Ireland who are interested in the integration of technology in the classroom. It’s also great that so many teachers share their enthusiasm and expertise in so many different fields. read more…
Teaching Council Election Confusion
Original Teaching Council Declaration of Identity Form with errors highlighted
Teaching Council Election voting papers have recently been posted out to all teachers registered with the Teaching Council. Teachers were supplied with two Ballot Papers – one for the female candidates and one for the male candidates. Teachers were asked to vote 1, 2, 3 in the order of their preferences. Teachers were also supplied with a Declaration of Identity Form which they were asked to complete and have witnessed by a person known to the teacher. However, herein lay the errors which caused much confusion among teachers and which called into question both the efficiency of the Council and the legitimacy of the election process. read more…
