What is TeachMeet?

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about creative approaches to teaching and learning. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations.

TeachMeet Lothians & Borders

TeachMeets are such a fantastic opportunity for teachers to get together and share ideas. They have often focused on the use of ICT in classrooms in the past and while this is clearly important, we'd like to try and broaden the spectrum a little for our TeachMeet. We'd like to encourage presentations on any creative ideas teachers have been trying out in our classrooms, whether they involve technology or not. This is why we've given our TeachMeet the 'creativeclassroomsedition' tag line.

This TeachMeet is currently being put together by a few volunteers (Kirsty Forbes, Colm Linnane, Candace Watermeyer, David Gimour & Fearghal Kelly). If you'd like to help out, please let us know.
