This could be a lesson or idea where they use iPads, tablets or PCs. We love to keep track of where this happens in South Africa on our TeachMeet-South Africa wiki (<a href="http://teachmeet-southafrica.wikispaces.com/">http://teachmeet-southafrica.wikispaces.com/</a>) so that we can promote the TeachMeet and follow the event on Twitter. Consequently we would like to advertise the 17th TeachMeet in SA (to our Knowledge) which will take place at Elkanah House in Cape Town Saturday 8th June.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can sign up for the TeachMeet on Linda Fowlkes Teachmeet wiki (<a href="http://elkteachmeet.pbworks.com/">http://elkteachmeet.pbworks.com</a>) </span><br /><br /><br />  <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfIoFSsVPvVLTAVpZzdoksGh40tqDaYMBlr5vk5KbmqjAs5Ui2UWaCsvQQqXGOtx_5jkx8oohnzSKjorN1NEn50zGt3DLZqbSriZNTHvlU15mY-juZ18BeUBX9jtD6VywZRbtOxa6cjUk/s1600/TeachMeet-8June13+(1).jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfIoFSsVPvVLTAVpZzdoksGh40tqDaYMBlr5vk5KbmqjAs5Ui2UWaCsvQQqXGOtx_5jkx8oohnzSKjorN1NEn50zGt3DLZqbSriZNTHvlU15mY-juZ18BeUBX9jtD6VywZRbtOxa6cjUk/s400/TeachMeet-8June13+(1).jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a little summary of a TeachMeet given by Linda</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;"><br /><b><span style="background-color: white; font-size: large;">What is a TeachMeet?</span></b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19px;"></span></span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">A tiny professional development “un-conference” where teachers get together to simply share ideas or lessons using ICT as a tool using different devices.
