Online Ticketing for TeachMeet East 3 - Summer Inspiration

Thankyou to the following sponsors for their kind support and prizes- without whom the event could not happen!       The following companies have also provided prizes for the raffle and/or resources for each attendee.

 

 

What is TeachMeet?

 

"An Afternoon full of brilliant ideas"-  TeachMeet East Atendee

 

"The best Saturday afternoon I have had in a long while!" -TeachMeet East 2 Attendee

 

"By teachers for teachers. A place for real inspiration"- TeachMeet East Attendee

 

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused!

 

TeachMeet is a unique gathering of teachers and education professionals to share inspirational ideas, techniques and resources. The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning, from teachers. This is not an event to present about a product - this is a chance for teachers from all types of establishments to hear ideas from each other. It's a chance to hear real narratives of practice that make a difference. It is about being engaged and inspired by our immediate colleagues and gain a whole bucket load of networking to boot! 

 

TeachMeet is an informal  and enjoyable gathering of those curious about teaching and learning. Anyone can share great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to soak up all the great ideas and enthusiasm. Education professionals from all sectors are welcome to take part and it'd be great to see both Primary and Seconday! 

 

Tim and Moby from BrainPopUK are great at explaining things- so here is their introduction to TeachMeet East which hopefully sums up all the above (and more!).  Please note this video has the date of the first TeachMeet East on- keep your eyes peeled for the new version!   Why not show this video in a staff meeting at your school to quickly introduce everyone to TeachMeet East?  This video relates to TeachMeet East 2- an updated version for TeachMeet East- Summer Inspiration- will be uploaded shortly. 

 

 

 

People who attend TeachMeets always learn loads from each other, and have a good time as well!

What people said last time! 

TeachMeets in the East first started in June 2010, with the inaugural TeachMeet East, and on the 5th February 2011 we held TeachMeet East 2-feedback from both events was overwhelmingly positive! 

 

100% of attendees who filled in our post event survey  for both events said they have learnt something new at TeachMeet East and that there was something relevant to their role at TeachMeet East

 

100% also told us they were keen to attend another TeachMeet and there was clear demand for a third TeachMeet East in the late summer term term 2011

 

Here is just some of what the attendess at TeachMeet East, and TeachMeet East 2 had to say:

 

"It was a fantastic experience. I really enjoyed meeting up with like-minded people and learning lots of new and inspirational ideas." - N.Davies

 

"CPD at its best!  Inspiring, learning from others."  - K.Laggan 

 

"A collaborative, generous coming together of teaching professionals- it was great being able to feed of other teachers enthusiasm and ideas" G.McConalogue 

 

"A fantastic,fun and enjoyable event- well worth 'giving up' a Saturday afternoon"- Anonymous

 

"In this time of cuts and tight budgets it is brilliant to have access to this kind of free and relevant CPD. Long may it continue!" - Anonymous 

 

"Lots of intense shots of teaching ideas in a relaxed and cheeky atmosphere!" - J.Perrem

We'll also be running a free prize draw- our last prize fund totalled over £1200! Full details of the prize draw will be given nearer the event!:-

 

What can you do?

 

You can come along to chat, meet new people, or give a seven minute micro presentation, a two minute nano presentation or just simply to come and be there and soak up all the inspirational ideas.

 

Presenting at TeachMeet is not scary, and anybody can present- you don't need to be an expert!  People who present often say what a great  and fun expereince it was!

 

You can of course  just attend TeachMeet East without presenting, and be there to soak up all the inpirational ideas shared by your immediate colleagues. However please consider presenting!

 

Presentation Rules 

 

• 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 a short ammount of set up time. 
• Be prepared for technical difficulties (although we'll do our best to prevent them!) and be ready to wing it! That’s what makes TeachMeet exciting! 
• If your examples are online please add links to your presentation (this will speed things up on the afternoon)
• Remember you don't need to be an expert to speak!

  

If you are just selling something, you will be asked to stop - so please don't just turn up and try and sell! 

 

We rely on presentations from people just like you to make TeachMeet East a success- why not sign up to present?

Why not make a weekend of it?

 

We looked at our calendars, and realised that there aren't many events where all the 'twitter'ers' can get together!  We also realised that there are still lots of people who want to attend a TeachMeet but live somewhere where there isn't one!

 

For both of the previous events, people chose to make a weekend out of TeachMeet East and came from further afield- and we want to encourage people to do the same this time!

After all- Norfolk is a beautiful place to spend a weekend, and with the sunny weather (which will hopefully continue) it would make a wonderful weekend away! 

 

As TeachMeet East is being held on a Saturday (as the geographical spread of the East means that some people will want to commute significant distances to attend) we thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to invite the wider TeachMeet/Twitter community, and those who live nowhere near a TeachMeet to come to TeachMeet East.   As Norwich is extremely near the coast, the lovely broads, and Norwich is a great city to explore, it'd be a great excuse for an early spring get away!

 

We can help you find cheap accommodation, and there will be a big TeachEat event along with drinks on the Saturday night.  We are also organising events for the Friday night before the event too! 

 

There is lots to do during the weekend- including shopping in one of the top 10 shopping cities in the UK, experience the broads or even take a stroll along the beautiful Norfolk coast!

 

Why not sign up to attend or present and make a weekend of it!
