I am glad to report that there are quite a number of TeachMeets about to take place around South Africa. This is exciting! If you live anywhere near these areas please do investigate. At a TeachMeet, which is a free event, teachers volunteer to share for three minutes about a successful lesson that involved technology integration. It is a great time of networking, learning, sharing and friendship. Usually they submit a PowerPoint, a video, etc to the organiser so that they can show their lesson as they talk.
