Teachmeets

The most effective forms of CPD I have seen in schools in recent years have been a combination of TeachMeets, student digital leaders and teachers' social media networks like Twitter. When working with a school vision that has learning and teaching at the centre they are incredibly powerful. Top-down has failed and the best bottom-up is brilliant“

2min nano presentations 7min micro presentations 15min soapboxes

You can tell us about:- a project that you carried out in your classroom, or are still doing it- a tool that you used with your students- an idea that worked well with your students- an activity that you did in your classroom- an experience you want to share- an example of best practices in teaching and learning

Open to outside presenters, Skype them in....

Keep it social

Micro-presentations are strictly 7 min, nano-presentations 2 min long.

No PowerPoint allowed... unless...

Right here, right now stuff.

If outside vendors present, "no selling" policy- not a sales pitch.

Collate the ideas for sharing afterwards

You don’t need much equipmentprojectors, laptops, power

Internet access really useful for sharing

Encourage speaking at the back of the class
