Read the link above to get an idea of what a teachmeet is all about, but basically, it's CPD FOR teachers BY teachers. It's about teachers 'doing it for themselves'. It's an opportunity to showcase fantastic things you are doing in your classroom or get inspiration from others who are doing great things in the 21st Century.

| This is just a small selection of the teachmeets that have occured since the first, back in 2006 (along with the logo from Brain-Pop, regular sponsors of teachmeets.) |
No-one owns a teachmeet, or the teachmeet brand, but some educators put themselves out to facilitate the organising of one, and I am certainly grateful to those individuals, who are generally 'just' teachers like me.
It's definitely not hijacked by those with something to sell, but education brands tend to sponsor teeachmeets and offer prizes for teachers to take home with them.
Those that are brave enough to present offer either a two-minute micro- or a seven-minute nano-presentation on something that has worked for them in improving the teaching and learning.
They are often streamed online (with chat capability) so people can choose to participate no matter where they are in the country, or indeed the world!
