    I uninstalled the NextGEN plugin and reinstalled it but my gallery links were demolished. I will re-import them to set up a new link table - when I have time. Thanks again for the heads up.

    No I am not giving up on blogging or podcasting!

    On the contrary, I have 96 private postings from the last 14 months on various topics which I shared with 43 WordPress trainees. 29 of these WordPress enthusiasts are from the eTwinning community and the remainder are teachers from around Ireland and some PC users who attended last year's Digital Bootcamp organised by the INTo and delivered by Apple last summer in Alexander College, Dublin.

    I will tidy them up, especially the posts with links and publish them (publicly) over the next few weeks.

    Thanks for the "Back 2 School" emails.

 Project Outline

eTwinning Certificate

Participating Schools:Saint Attracta’s Senior National School, Meadowbrook, Dublin 16. Ireland
ICT Coordinator: Joseph Molloy
Class teachers: Marie Dolan, Evelyn Doyle and Patricia Rafter
Saint Joseph, Mater Boni Consilii School, Paola, Malta
ICT Coordinator: Jacqueline Vanhear
Age of students:  6 -8 years
Type of school: Primary School
Languages: English
Title: Once Upon a Blog
Duration: one school year
Short Description: An exchange of national myths and legends using Blog and Podcast technologies. Later on we hope to compare and contrast the lifestyles and attitudes of Maltese and Irish children using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).    CT tools: Weblog, Podcasting, Skype, email, incidental use of image, video, sound processing. A BLOG site is easy to manage and lends itself to collaborative online writing suitable for eTwinning projects. “By taking part in the development of a blog, pupils and teachers alike, discover the cultural differences and similarities between their environment and that of their partner.” Podcasting on the other hand introduces the pupils to the spoken word. The multimedia experience lends flesh to the accompanying text. The co-administrators can independently moderate content and monitor the quality of the pupils’ contributions.
Concept Mapping shall be used to throughout the project
Subjects: English, Gaeilge, Maltese, history, geography, art, music and dance. Other subjects may also be drawn into the flexible cultural exchange.
Objectives:
  • To broaden the experiential and cultural horizons of the students and staff.
  • To promote language skills, using a Blog and Podcasting site.
  • To encourage and foster the European dimension in primary education.
  • To support the intercultural exchange of ideas and values.
  • To develop an enriched multicultural European identity.
  • To enrich and diversify teaching and learning through ICTs.
  • To establish ICTs as a creative method of communication and pedagogy.
