TeachMeets are a great way to be exposed to new webtools that other teachers are using successfully in their classrooms. We keep a record of these on the TeachMeet South Africa wiki http://teachmeet-southafrica.wikispaces.com/. This wiki also gives ideas on how you can start a teachMeet at your school.
What is a TeachMeet?
A tiny professional development “un-conference” where teachers get together to simply share ideas or lessons using ICT as a tool using different devices. If one cannot attend but would like to share…why not Skype or submit a video which I will present for you.
How long is a TeachMeet?
2 hours is usually a good stretch of time to hold a TeachMeet.
What happens at a TeachMeet?
On sign-up one indicates whether to attend as:
1. Keen Bean – prepare and share a 3 min idea or lesson
2. Enthusiastic Lurker – relax, learn and absorb!
