Learn something new about blade helicopters , be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and technology. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialed in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations. Would be good to see, and hear from, both Primary and Secondary Teachers.

Why is this one a 'Start with the Learning and let the Technology follow'?

Well ....because we want to share our excitement with as many people as possible and we really don't want potential attendees to be put off thinking that the whole place will be full of experts! We want to provide information, association and inspiration (without intimidation). In fact, let's collaborate!

Where is it?

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 dependent 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 or do something different ?

 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 (please check that what you're using works on the Cardiff network) and be ready to wing it on the night! That’s what makes TeachMeet exciting!
