Seomra Ranga’s 4th Birthday

Seomra Ranga’s 4th Birthday

|

4th Birthday

Today marks the 4th birthday of Seomra Ranga. It’s hard to believe that the fledgling site is now four years old. A lot has happened in the intervening years. What started out as something very small and intimate has grown beyond all expectations. I mentioned on Twitter last week that if you begin to type “seo” into Google.ie, the first search result that pops up is Seomra Ranga! I remarked in a blog post after year 1 that the visitor numbers to the site had passsed 67,000. This number can easily be reached in a month now. In fact, during the past 30 days there have been more than 50,000 visitors with more than 600,000 page impressions. Given that some of that period includes the holidays during August, they are staggering figures indeed. read more…

New Missal Mass Responses

New Missal Mass Responses

Religion

Just last week, changes were introduced to the Catholic Mass texts, especially the congregational responses. The changes are designed to be more faithful to the original Latin texts on which the Missal is based. Some changes in wording are small, with different emphases in places. This resource is for teachers to help pupils learn the new responses and become aware of them.

Interview With Minister Ruairí Quinn

Interview With Minister Ruairí Quinn

Seomra Ranga is particularly appreciative of the fact that Ruairí Quinn, the Minister for Education and Skills, has taken time out of his busy schedule to mark the beginning of the school year by agreeing to answer interview questions submitted by visitors to the website.

Ruairi Quinn is a Labour Party TD for the Dublin South East constituency. He represents Donnybrook, Sandymount, Ranelagh, Rathmines, Rathgar, Milltown, Terenure, Harold’s Cross, the south east Inner City, Ringsend, Irishtown and Ballsbridge. Ruairi has been a public representative for the area since 1973, and lives in Sandymount. He is a former Minister for Finance, Leader of the Labour Party, Chairman of the European Council of Finance Ministers (ECOFIN) and is currently Vice President and Treasurer of the Party of European Socialists. Earlier this year, after the General Election brought together a Fine Gael / Labour coalition government, Ruairí Quinn was appointed Minister for Education and Skills. read more…

Guest Post – Class Dojo

Guest Post – Class Dojo

Class Dojo

Nigel Lane teaches in St. Corban’s BNS, in Naas, Co. Kildare. He is very interested in technology and is a regular contributor on blogs and on Twitter. Earlier this year, he co-authored a book called “Diary of the Tweople“, a Twitter user’s diary for June 3rd 2011. He recently came across Class Dojo, a classroom management tool and readily agreed to do a review for Seomra Ranga.

I came across this classroom behaviour management tool thanks to one of the people I follow on Twitter, unfortunately I just can’t remember who. I was very impressed with how it looked and so I signed up straight away in order to see how it might work for me. read more…
