What is TeachMeet?

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and technology. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations.

This edition on Teachmeet is being aimed primarily at Teachers working and learning in Second Life - in the 7 minute slot people can present in Avatar form - show Machinima, talk about projects they have been involved with. It will be the first TeachMeet to have been held in Second Life itself and will be a global one depending on people's availablility. Sign up for the wiki here.

When and Where?

Teachmeet Second Life will be happening on Friday 7th May 2010 on Learn 4 Life Island at 8PM BST  12 Noon PST SL TIME (see your local time here). You will need to have the Second Life Client software downloaded, a broadband connection and have made an avatar to attend. You will also need to wear a headset and have Quicktime installed on your computer.

Even better would be if you could show the session to a group of people using a projector - log in as your avatar and project the session onto a screen for several people who have never been in Second Life before so they can see the power of Distance Learning in Immersive Environments.

Presentation Rules

What are the rules for this Teachmeet? We want to maintain the strict no powerpoint rule (with the standard Lessig style exception)? 

You can use whatever presentation format you want including , keynote, prezi, slide rocket, 280 slides, you could just talk, show something from the web, hold up a poster or you could sing a song!

The important thing is that you get your message across and you will only get one minute set up time.

Be prepared for technical difficulties and be ready to wing it on the night! That’s what makes Teachmeet exciting!
