What is a TeachMeet?

 

TeachMeets are informal gathering of those with an interest in or curiosity about learning and teaching. They're all about sharing great ideas both from informal and formal learning environments.

 

Anyone can get up and talk about what they've been up to and, indeed, anyone can host a TeachMeet. There are only three guidelines:

1. No selling/pitching/advertising commercial products or services
2. Stick to your time (2 minutes or 7 minutes)
3. Powerpoint/Keynote/Prezi/other presentation software is discouraged. Please be as interactive as possible!

Why a Mozilla Webmaker TeachMeet?

 

The Mozilla Foundation is a global non-profit organization promoting openness, innovation and participation on the Internet. We want to create a generation of webmakers - young people who not just elegantly consume, but who are empowered enough to also write the Web.

 

TeachMeet Mozilla Webmaker Edition may feature some sharing of practice around our free, open tools such as X-Ray Goggles, Thimble and Popcorn. Or not. It's entirely up to those who sign up. We're providing the space (and the nibbles!) but we're not dictating what happens.

Who gets to speak?

 

As is now traditional at TeachMeets, we'll be using a Name Generator to decide who gets to speak next. It all adds to the impromptu and spontaneous nature of the event!
