St Peters School, Stanley, Wakefield

4.30 to 6.30

TeachMeets are events for teachers for sharing good practice, practical innovations and personal insights in teaching using technology. This event is organised to coincide with the YHGfL/Microsoft Partners in learning Training camp http://www.yhgfl.net/CPD/CPD-programme/Microsoft-Partners-in-Learning-Teacher-Camp2.

Participants can volunteer/book (via the YHGfL website) to demonstrate good practice they’ve delivered over the past year, or discuss a product that enhances classroom practice.  You will be able to deliver a micro-presentation lasting no more than seven minutes or a two-minute nano presentation – or come along just to listen and be inspired.

Don’t let the length of the presentations put you off as they will be packed with interesting and exciting ideas that you can take back and try in the classroom.

This FREE TeachMeet event is open to all.  Please sign up for this event on the YHGfL website HERE.
