What is TeachMeet?

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about technologies. Anyone can share cool ideas they have or great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms.

What can you do? You can come along to linger, loiter, contribute, chat, meet new people, or give a seven minute talk. Rules for the talk:

• It's only seven minutes long
• No PowerPoint allowed... unless... you're doing 20 slides for 20 seconds each. { - presumably, in the interests of fairness, that means no Keynote too? :-) }
• We might forgo the PowerPoint rule to allow speakers to give their autobiography in four slides.
• If you're using the web, make sure you save a copy of your tabs in Firefox, just in case it all goes down. ScrapBook is a great add-on to do this easily.

YOU! Just click 'edit' and add your name, blog or website link and an idea of what you would like to share in seven minutes, if you want to share anything.

Important: This page has been attracting the interest of the spammers, so I've protected it by making it editable only by registered users. Sorry about the hassle, but it's a quick and easy process - use the link on the top right.--Jonesieboy 09:49, 10 September 2007 (BST)

Tip 1: If you've never used a webpage, or wiki, like this before just copy and paste someone else's text and change it to suit you.
