TeachMeet08 - Northern Edition!

Comments: 5

TeachMeet08 Northern EditionAfter a false start earlier this year, there will definitely be at least one TeachMeet outside the Central Belt in 2008! Make space in your February for some top class CPD in Perth!

I think the technical term is ‘mug’, but I’ve started organising a TeachMeet technology and teaching professional development ‘unconference’ to be held in Dewar’s Ice Rink, Perth on February 19th, 2008. The evening will start at about 6:30pm and go on until about 9ish, followed by a meal in one of Perth’s many excellent eateries (waiting to see which is willing to host a group of enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers).

Arrangements are a bit sketchy at the moment, but Perth & Kinross Council Education have agreed to give us Dewar’s Ice Rink and free wifi for the night so ‘Yay!’ to Chris Webb and his team!

I’ll see about getting the wiki and all the other details sorted out a.s.a.p. In the meantime, put February 19th in your diary and start working out what you are going to talk about for 7 or 2 minutes!

(PS: If anyone knows of someone willing to sponsor the other essential elements of a TeachMeet, drop me a line!)

Great news… and hopefully you’ll be up for speaking at it as well?

I’ll be getting the wiki sorted out fairly soon so we can start adding names to it. In the meantime, I have to take Mrs W to a number of Perth’s finest eateries to find a suitable venue for the eating part of the meet! (I know… it’s a tough job…)

Ace news, though it could still be even more north! Hopefully I will be able to attend. Check my post yesterday

Thanks everyone! At this rate there won’t be room for any teachers from Perth & Kinross! ;)

There is now a dedicated Wiki page which you can find HERE

I’m already looking forward to hearing what people have to say!
