What is Teachmeet?

 

TeachMeet is a chance for us to share what has and is effective, exciting and innovative technology in our schools in an informal environment.

Those of us who have attended Teachmeets before have found them to be inspirational and a great form of CPD.

 

You may want to look at previous TEACHMEETS, in particular the national event @ BETT. 

Look also @ Nicholas Hughes' Youtube video that he took @ this event, these two links should give you a flavour of what we are striving

for on May the 19th.

 

If you come for the evening, then you can either present (see below), or just lisetn to inspiring presentations on ICT in our schools.

 

Where and when is it?

In the main hall @ Redbridge Teachers Centre follow this link for a map. .

 

5:30- 6:00pm - Entry Time

You must arrive and register between these times, space is limted and you may not get in after 6, though you can leave at any time!!

6:00- 9:30-pm Teachmeet North East London

Early evening drinks, snacks, innovation

 

If you can not get to the venue for 5:30, then please email me

 

What happens?

Unlike the Redbridge ICT Conference that is taking place during the day, this event is an unconference:

  • You will not be expected to sit through long presentations.
  • We invite anyone to contribute their experiences with technology in their schools through means of micropresentation (seven minutes long) or a nano presentation (two minutes long).

 

Who can come?

Anyone involved in education. You do not have to be an adviser or coordinator, in fact we'd prefer to hear from those that are actually doing it in the classroom. This event is for both primary and secondary.

 

What can you do?

 

You can come along to linger, loiter, contribute, chat, meet new people, or give a talk.

 

Rules for Talks

 

  • 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.
  • No sales talks. You will be pulled...
  • 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.

*

You can show short video clips or images of technology in your school, but please no Powerpoints.

  • Choose between micro-presentations, these last up to seven minutes or Nano Presentations which last up to two minutes
  • There will be no strict running order, rather speakers will be chosen at random, using the electronic fruit machine and administered by the MC
  • You must register for the event, even if you do not intend to speak
  • Please publicise by displaying this logo where you can and linking back to this page.
