The first of my history-themed Christmas cards arrived into class today; all based on Chapter 13 of @MsStacyS and @histforall's @GillEducation book making history.

I'm eagerly waiting for someone to take advantage of Parnell's beard with the caption "Ho Ho Home Rule"

@MaddenClare is a fountain of knowledge on how to teach English in the classroom. Thanks to @edcentretralee for organising a great webinar, I've learned so much tonight.

Does anyone know of any YA short story competitions still open in Ireland? Thanks in advance.

[Andrea Thornton @MissMounthawk]

@IrelandAMVMTV will you be running your Christmas short story competition for young people this year?

[Andrea Thornton @MissMounthawk]

@MounthawkMercy Incredible achievement! Wonderful news to buoy up our spirits

Just a reminder that when Shakespeare was quarantined because of the plague, he wrote ��King Lear.’

@MsStacyS @Schoology This could be useful @MounthawkMercy

[Andrea Thornton @MissMounthawk]

@MsStacyS @Schoology What programme do you use to correct using that digital pen and what is the name of the pen? Many thanks

Super idea @nmcdunne

We are living through history, I have asked my students to make a time capsule of their experiences/findings - this will be an ongoing project during school closure! #histedchatie @CorkETSS #COVID19
