    Has anybody got any information as to when the list of literature will be released? It is making choosing an Irish text book very difficult as well as forward planning.

    It is getting a bit unrealistic trying to plan for the implementation of this course, where literature forms the core of every learning unit - and we are into the final term of school and no list available to schools yet.

    We are absolutely not worrying about it. Took a department decision not to. The book company we wanted to go with couldn't publish their book, because the government wouldn't tell them what had to be covered, and the literature list hasn't been released.
    So we're just going with the flow, let whatever happens happen. We're all in the same boat! Even the lady running our JCT for Teachers inservice day hadn't a notion. We'll just carry on teaching Irish as normal and when the government decide what we're to teach we'll start then.

    A mhaighdean!!! Are the Irish depts in every school even getting any money to buy these books so that teachers can even read them. Thinking if we do even get the money the amount of photocopying that will be spent on sharing theses books. I haven't worked in any school yet where special projectors are used to reflect text into whiteboard. I was looking into buying one but they are so expensive!!

    Do you mean one of these things?

    They seem mad pricey considering it's just a camera on a tripod of some type.
    I wonder could you plug a mobile phone into your laptop via usb and transmit that way.

    I have a projector aimed at my whiteboard. Bought my own apple tv so my macbook and ipad can be wirelessly projected to the whiteboard. And the students ipads. (And I already had the macbook/ipad, this is obviously an expensive solution if you are not already working on apple!)
