On Friday evening the first ever Teachmeet to take place
in the Northwest will happen at the 21st Century Classroom in
Salford 5pm -10pm
If you have never been to a Teachmeet you are missing one of the most exciting and vibrant events on the teaching calendar. A Teachmeet is an unconference run by the attendees consisting of micro (7 minute) and nano (2 minute) presentations on some aspect or other of innovative classroom practice, often tech related. Teachmeets are informal, fun and free. To attend, all you need to do is sign up on the TeachmeetNW page. You don’t have to do a presentation if you don’t want to, but the more who do, the better it gets. Afterwards there is an opportunity for a bit of a social gathering, too.
Here's what I thought of Teachmeet Midlands a few months back.

I hope to see you there.
