If you would like to suggest an idea or offer to help, please edit the table below (or sign up through the Eventbright page or the TeachMeet Tablet form).

Multicoloured App Swap - What apps are in use in classrooms? Share top tips or listen and learn.
Notes from Discussion via @katiebarrowman (links & additions added via @drewburrett):
Some authorities against connecting mobile devices to the network. Could use Edmodo etc. to connect devices via cloud.
North Lanarkshire P6 teacher (Nicola Rae) has 1:1 devices and kids can take devices home.
Kids signed a contract to allow them to use at home. Parents also signed the contract.
Could use iPads all the time but NL pilot use them 50% of the time. Even for use as a dictionary. Used for a year and a half. Covers personalisation and choice for CFE. e.g. making a rap to present topic learning in Garage Band, Puppet Pals etc.
Negatives - some become very reliant, e.g. don't put their own capitals and full stops in, allowing device to autocorrect.
Kids and teacher use a .me account. Tend to email rather than dropbox because parents looking at other kids' work!
Explain Everything app - mind mapping, recording, integrating other docs. Good for essay feedback. Also pupils giving their own feedback to their own work.
What about paying for apps? Does it lead to inequalities for pupils who can't afford 'best' apps? It is possible to have more than one itunes account on an iOS device.
Could BYOD (bring your own device) be unfair on teachers? Too difficult to manage? Lots of good reasons to not byod, see Fraser Spiers.
Hands on - borrow a tablet and see what all the fuss is about.
Picking up on the small steps approach, we started with simple ideas that could easily be incorporated into existing practice. Taking a picture of a pupils work and sharing with Apple TV. There was a music teacher in the group, so while some played with Photobooth, we looked at OnSong with a music teacher: downloading a song, transposing it to another key and looking at the chord diagrams for a variety of instruments. The session finished looking at iBooks: downloaded a free book (Pride and Prejudice); defining words, searching for text; highlighting text; making notes; and emailing notes and highlights.

More typically, after a TeachMeet a number of participants go out for dinner. Everyone is welcome, and for many it is as important a part of the evening as the Teachmeet.
It is expected that each person will pay for their own meal and drinks as it is unlikely that sponsorship will cover this cost.
The venue is Esquire House, 1487 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 0AU. Tuesday is steak night, and they are offering a steak dinner including a drink for £7.99. Other deals, including vegitarian options, are available, e.g. a burger meal including a drink for £5.19.
