The Big Questions

The questions from the floor (via text message) about the future of connected learning. What would your answer be?

 

What do you want Teachmeet 2032 to be discussing?

 

 

 

This event couldn't exist in the (really fun) way it does without the support of our sponsors:

 

 

 

IMPORTANT PRE-REGISTRATION NOTE:

For TeachMeet08 @ BETT you must register for the BETT Show first, and aim to get to the venue before 6pm. If you can't, let me know.

You can also get email updates on the prep for the event and the night itself by joining the Facebook group.

 

Anyone can share cool ideas they have or great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms by signing up here.

Just click 'edit', use the password teemhcaet and add your name, blog or website link and an idea of what you would like to share in seven minutes, if you want to share anything.

It's important to sign up if you intend to come, so that sponsors have an idea of how much space, prep and drinks need to be provided.

You can come along to linger, loiter, contribute, chat, meet new people, or give a talk.

 

Rules for talks

• Micro-presentations are strictly seven minutes long, nano-presentations two minutes long.
• No PowerPoint allowed... unless... you're doing 20 slides for 20 seconds each (pecha kucha style - pecha kucha article).
• Please make sure that what you're showing has actually been done in your classroom or a classroom of a colleague - this isn't blue skies, this is right here, right now stuff.
• If you're using the web, make sure you save a copy of your tabs in Firefox, just in case it all goes down. ScrapBook is a great add-on to do this easily.

 

Take photos, write blogs... but tag them!
