I went to TeachMeet Milton Keynes on 7th July TeachMeet_MIlton_Keynes. It was fantastic!  Video reaction to follow.

What is a TeachMeet?

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused.  This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and learning, technology and pedagogy. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations.  Everyone is welcome to join in: teachers from all types of schools, teaching all subjects and age groups.  The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning from teachers.  It is a chance for teachers to hear ideas from each other  and be inspired by colleagues, along with a whole bucket load of networking to boot!

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.

As with all Teachmeets, we are dependant on our sponsors for a venue, refreshments, wifi, equipment and other costs.

Presentation Rules

What are the rules for this Teachmeet? 

You can use whatever presentation format you want including PowerPoint, 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!
