Southern TeachMeet Program and Presentations

———————————————————————————————-

‘Connecting People Sharing Learning’

———————————————————————————————-

Teachers love to trade ideas and share practical classroom practices. Connecting in relaxed, comfortable environments with good company (even something to eat and drink) adds to the learning experience.

TeachMeets involve teachers sharing 7 and 2 minute presentations with each other. It’s free and fun. These succinct, easy to create presentations are sure to inspire at least one fellow colleague and that equals successful professional development. There is no pressure, demanding preparation requirements or judgemental attitudes. It’s also a wonderful way to get into presenting. Good sharing and great learning benefits our students. TeachMeets include Leaders, ICT Coordinators and Managers, Mentors, Researchers, Specialist and Classroom Teachers. They cater for all year levels and sectors.

Southern Adelaide TeachMeet    1st Nov  4.30-6.30pm    Hackham East Schools    Term 4 Week 4

Guidelines

• We encourage you to come ready to briefly share an idea, a tool, website or product of your choice
• It’s important to do what it takes to get your message across (know what that is) and have fun
• You will be timed for 7 or 2 minutes after 1 minute set up
• A laptop, data projector, internet and microphone is available. Please bring extras you need or note  them when you register
• Any presentation format is allowed – it doesn’t have to be technological, sing a song if you like
• Bring a ‘Plan B’ backup (eg memory stick) Technology can go wrong, its part of the fun. Bring your own technology maybe.
• Presenters are often chosen at random. The structure of our Southern Adelaide Teachmeet will depend on registration data.
• The theme ‘Connecting People Sharing Learning’ is a guideline to give you scope and make it personal
