TeachMeet Leicester: Digital Literacy - or TMDL14
What's a TeachMeet?
A TeachMeet is an informal meet up of people working in and passionate about education - they support grassroots professional development. Events are framed by short talks and demos from people working within education - sharing practice that works. You can check out the Wikipedia definition here.
Practitioner talk and demo slots at TMDL14 are typical of TeachMeet talk lengths - 7 minute micro presentations or 2 minute mini presentations. These are short to encourage a wide range and diversity of contribution, to make sure as many people attending as possible get the opportunity to share, and to make joining in more accessible and less scary for people who have never spoken at an event before.
What's different about TMDL14?
TMDL14 is organised in collaboration with the DigiLit Leicester Project and we would like to encourage presentations about effective practice that relate to the Digital Literacy Framework strands. These are:
- Finding, Evaluating and Organising
- Creating and Sharing
- Assessment and Feedback
- Communication, Collaboration and Participation
- E-Safety and Online Identity
- Technology supported Professional Development
Who is TMDL14 for?
TMDL14 is for everyone interested in the effective and engaging use of technology to support learning and teaching – whether you are an absolute beginner or an tech ninja!
What kind of thing do people talk about/demo at a TeachMeet?
All sorts of things! You might speak about a really useful app, web tool or site; a technique that supports listening or speaking; an interesting and successful project; how you capture or share achievement; a simple, little change that has made all the difference to your learners; something you've created or a resource someone else has shared. We also want to encourage presenters to look at the Digital Literacy Framework and talk about the practice that works for them in one of the strand areas.
