Thoughts on Spraoi
– My mother (She used to be a Primary School teacher... however many moons ago)
·
What age group?
·
How will you decide what words they know and
don’t know?
·
You have to assume that the child has a certain
amount of vocabulary, you’re presumably trying to broaden it from there
·
Would you concentrate on nouns in one exercise,
verbs in another?
·
Should be competing individually as classmates
rather than in teams
Thoughts on Spraoi
– Frank (Second Class teacher in a Gaelscoil)
Initial thoughts on the idea
·
Very good
·
Not enough Irish educational software compared
to English and maths
·
Noises encourage them when they get stuff right
Info about whiteboards
·
SMARTboards
·
Promethean
·
Pretty much do the same thing
·
Crossword maker
·
Wordsearch
What are the greatest difficulties that kids have with
learning Irish?
·
Lack of interest in English-speaking schools
·
Teachers out there who wouldn’t be comfortable
with speaking it in English speaking school
·
Kids don’t like it when they can’t speak it
·
They pick up the oral and aural in Gaelscoil
·
Reading would be good for gaelscoileanna
·
Séadán Sí
Problems that you could see arising
·
Only two kids at the board at a time
·
If it’s linked in some way to a task that
they’re doing like a closed procedure
·
The height – the top half of the board can’t be
reached
·
Incorporate it into the lesson rather than make
it a game
·
Anything to keep their attention
