Thursday 18th June 2009 7.00pm - 9.30pm (bar open until 11pm)

Tyneside Bar, Tyneside Cinema, Newcastle upon Tyne

All done and dusted! Great evening had by all with a flashmeeting recoring the presentations and links to all of the presenters and their presentaions now available on the Ning - www.teachmeetne.ning.com

Hosted at the beautiful Tyneside Cinema, TeachmeetNE will give educators from all sectors the opportunity to meet up with like minded individuals and share the best of what is happening in their classrooms. If technology tickles your interest or independent learning intrigues you then come along and share your ideas and experiences with others. Based in the Tyneside Bar and Digital Lounge; canapés and drinks will keep the creative juices flowing! Please feel free to bring along your laptop or iphone to share your resources. There will be free wifi and we would encourage anyone who blogs or Twitters to do so during the evening so our virtual friends can join in.

If you wish to attend, you need to sign up to one of the categories below to gain entry on the night. Problems? E-mail Chris Harte here.

What can you do?

You can come along to chat, meet new people, or give a seven minute talk, a two minute nano presentation or lead a conversation.

Learning conversations

At recent TeachMeets, not everybody who wished to present has been able to present. Similary, not everybody wishes to perform. So .... instead of doing a presentation, would you like to lead a conversation on a topic that's currently close to your heart? Perhaps it's an area where you have more questions than answers? We'll make space for these learning conversations to take place. Sign up below if you'd like to lead a conversation.

1. Mark Simpson - If your school had £1,500,000 to spend on ICT through Building Schools for the Future, what would you do with it?

2. Chris Harte - What is the point of School? (Great book by Guy Claxton if you fancy reading it before hand!)

3. Sue Balmer - CLIL - why, who, how, when and where? Let's talk about it.

Flashmeeting

If you are unable to be physically present at the event we have organised a Flashmeeting so you can join us on video conference. Equally, you will be able to make comments on what is being said and also if you have something really burning you want to say, we can feed it back to presenters! To join the meeting go to this link where you will be able to sign in so you can interact (limited to 25 places) or just watch the presentations as the meeting will be public. Please sign up below if you intend to attend via Flashmeeting. If you are not sure of what a flashmeeting is see here for details. (The meeting rolled on so a second Flashmeeting session was used to capture the rest of the evening. This can be found here.)
