What is a TeachMeet?

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused.  This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching, technology and museums. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, in museums and in outreach, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations.  TeachmeetMuseums will give educators from all sectors the opportunity to meet up with likeminded individuals and share the best of what is happening in their classrooms and in museums. If you love digital technology, museums make you happy or independent learning excites you then come along and share your ideas and experiences with others.
