I attended a Teach Meet Event in Nottingham last week. I have previously attended these events and organised them within the schools I worked in.
What is a Teach Meet event?
“A TeachMeet is an organised but informal meeting (in the style of an unconference) for teachers to share good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching & learning with technology and innovative ideas to enhance teaching & learning.
Participants volunteer (via the TeachMeet website) to demonstrate good practice they’ve delivered , or discuss a product that enhances classroom practice.
TeachMeet events are open to all and do not charge an entry fee.”
Here is a list of ideas presented at the event:
1. An introduction to Computing in Primary Schools
2. Finding opportunities for creative teaching in the maths curriculum - sharing ideas on making maths teaching more exciting. http://mathswithadil.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/tmnottingham.pptx
3. Tools and tips to make iPads easier to work with in school - and how to then use amazing coding tools to make sense of it.
4. #poundlandpedagogy - How a pound can affect your class?
5. How I use quadblogging.
6. How to use Resilience strategies in the classroom
7. Early days for my blog: hannahkpearson.wordpress.com Masking Tape Maths in the EYFS
8. This yummy stuff is all well and good, but the wireless in MY classroom sucks. A free feature of your laptop may just open up your room
9. Cardboard genius bar - Bring your own box!
10. Learning grids and/or Tarsia
I've not heard of Teach Meet before - is this something which could/should be progressed through Colin's team?
