What is TeachMeet?

 

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and technology.

 

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 is a networking opportunity, so there is plenty of time for swapping notes with your colleagues. As the meeting will be ‘live streamed’ to the internet, you can also choose to watch from home if you can’t get to the meeting.

 

Tim and Moby from BrainPOP explain about TeachMeet.

Presentations

 

The heart of the TeachMeet is the short presentations given by teaching colleagues. These are short ( 7 minutes or 2 minutes) and you can use an LCD projector connected to the internet. There is no running order for the presenters. Names are put into a ‘fruit machine’ and chosen at random. Round table discussions are an opportunity for teachers to show a small group an activity they have used or simply discuss an interesting issue.

 

Please sign up below. Deborah Record will be happy to talk to you about presenting at a TeachMeet.

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!
