September's over…so do we have enough money for an Interactive Whiteboard?

I suppose I’m asking that question myself. I could buy an eBeam, Mimio or Onfinity Interactive Whiteboard and a cheap projector. Both my classrooms would then have one but over the summer, since my course on IWBs and since meeting representatives from Promethean and Smart and learning of all the advantages and disadvantages of all […]

Go Animate!

It’s not often I’m blown away by web sites. It’s not often that I recommend them either. In this case I’m also going to break my “Irish-only” rule about recommending a web site because this is one of the first web sites I’ve found where you can use it to teach Comhrá Gaeilge and make […]
