Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused!
TeahMeet's are unique events run for teachers, by teachers. TeachMeets in Norfolk have been running for the past two years, and we are holding a 'mini' TeachMeet after the Norfolk ICT Conference on the 29th March. The TeachMeet will run 4:30:545pm. A 'full' TeachMeet is planned for the early part of the summer term- more details soon!
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. 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!
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!
People who attend TeachMeets always learn loads from each other, and have a good time as well
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?
