Doncaster South City Learning Centre Friday 26th March 6.00 – 9.30pm

Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about teaching and technology. Anyone can share great ideas they’ve trialled in their classrooms, ask important questions or simply sign up to take part in learning conversations. Would be good to see and hear both Primary and Secondary Teachers.

When you come along, you can chat, meet new people, or give a seven minute talk, a two minute nano presentation or lead a conversation.
