Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal 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 take part in learning conversations. Education professionals from all sectors are welcome to take part.
The main part of TeachMeet is hearing stories about learning, from teachers. This is not an event to present about a product or theory - this is a chance for teachers from all types of establishments to hear ideas from each other. Real narratives of practice that make a difference. It is about being engaged and inspired by our immediate colleagues and a whole bucket load of networking to boot!
Everyone is welcome to join in: teachers or trainee teachers from all types of schools or colleges, teaching all subjects and age groups. The main aim of a TeachMeet is for teachers to hear ideas from each other and be inspired by colleagues, along with a whole bucket load of networking to boot!
You can come along to do any of the following:
listen and be inspired
give a two minute nano-presentation
give a seven minute talk
The presenters will be people like you, or you could be one of our presenters! Nothing frightening like a conference keynote, just you talking about an idea, an activity, a strategy you use that works and you are willing to share with others.
Sign Up!
You can come along to chat, meet new people, or give a seven minute talk or a two minute nano presentation.

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 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!
Micro-presentations are strictly seven minutes long, nano-presentations two minutes long.
Please make sure that what you're showing has actually been done in your classroom or a classroom of a colleague - this isn't blue skies, this is right here, right now stuff.
If you're using the web, make sure you save a copy of your tabs in Firefox, just in case it all goes down.ScrapBook is a great add-on to do this easily.
One rule which could work is designed to address the "no selling" policy - i.e. that presentations cannotsimply be a condensed sales pitch. Essentially, whoever's hosting the TeachMeet requests that people watching the current presentation should raise their hand to indicate that they think they're hearing a sales pitch. What needs to be agreed beforehand is a threshold of how many people in the room are required to indicate this. This might be 10% of those present (probably too low), or maybe 50% of those present. Having more than a few people required prevents commercial competitors who may be in the room (at something like BETT or SLF or a trade show) from simply vetoing the presentation of another company's representative, even if it's valid classroom practice. Once this threshold is reached, the presenter can either ask the presenter to stop, or suggest that they move immediately to examples of classroom practice, otherwise the presentation will end.
