Teachers TV.ie
This is amazing to watch an 11 year old teaching a class of her peers. It’s featured on the Teachers TV.ie video website. I haven’t used it much but maybe I should start to look into it more. The site is brought to us by Scoilnet and is hosted and moderated by Digilogue. It promises…

Christmas Greetings
Christmas greetings to you all from Seomra Ranga, and best wishes for the New Year. Enjoy the well-earned break and return to the site in 2010 for all your classroom resources. It’s been a busy year for Seomra Ranga, especially since September when the site experienced record numbers of visitors. This level of traffic to the site has exceeded all expectations with almost 450,000 visitors to the site during the last twelve months, the past four months being the busiest of all. It’s been so busy with traffic that the site has crashed twice as the allocated bandwidth was exceeded. The hosting plan has been upgraded to try to cope with the level of visitors so hopefully this will not happen again.
A special word of thanks to those who went to the trouble of uploading resources to the site to share with others. It’s easy to do – just attach the resource (in any format .doc, .ppt, .pdf, .jpeg, .pub, etc) to an e-mail and send it to info@seomraranga.com.
2010 will hopefully bring new and fresh changes to the site. Already the domain name www.seomraranga.ie has been secured so the site is now also accessible through that address. The site is also currently being re-designed and will hopefully be launched early in the new year. New content and resources are also being planned to add to the existing bank of resources on the site. Please let me know if there are changes that you feel would add to the design and functionality of the site.

New Christmas Resources
Lots of new Christmas resources have been added to the Christmas @ Seomra Ranga (www.christmas.seomraranga.com) website recently.

Seomra Ranga / Edware Competition
Many thanks to all Seomra Ranga users who took the trouble to upload a resource to the website during the month of November for the Seomra Ranga / Edware Competition. Many new resources have been added to the site as a result of the competition. Some people added many new resources to the site. However, overall, I thought that many more individuals would have taken part in the competition, especially given that the site attracts so many visitors each month.
Many thanks to Luke Curley at Edware Interactive Learning (www.edware.ie) for sponsoring the prizes of the popular Know Your Ireland and Know Your Europe software. Each person who uploaded a resource was allocated a number by me. Luke then selected three random numbers in order to select the prize recipients. The winners of the prizes are Shaygirl, Orla Dempsey and Drom NS.
Christmas @ Seomra Ranga
The Christmas season is upon us again and the Christmas @ Seomra Ranga website, which was launched last year, is up and running again. It’s full of resources for the Christmas season in the classroom: religious resources, signs and posters, music and visual arts ideas. New this year are some resources created with Wordle. Some new Christmas resources will be added to the site over the coming days and weeks, so keep returning to the site to view these. If you have a Christmas resource that you have created yourself, please share it with others by uploading it to Seomra Ranga. Suggestions of links to other sites with Christmas resources are also welcome.
