TeachMeet

Well I went to TeachMeet on Monday and had a great time. I met up with a few people I've met through Twitter, and one or two ex-colleagues too.

You can see a run-down of what happened on the TeachMeet wiki, but here are some of the things that I wanted to share:

The Visualiser Forum Launched, drawing upon experience in Havering Schools

Andy Black shows off some good robust digital camcorders,

www.gogivers.org - a site for primary schools with lots of useful FREE webtools: Timeline, Decision Tree World Viewer, Mindmapping etc.

WhatWorksWell - a website for sharing improvement in learning. Any teacher or education professional can publish their own case studies using the template provided. Launched end Nov - over 60 case studies up there already.

The Coming of Age book was mentioned by Terry Freedman.

Looking forward to future Teachmeets, I hope to be able to contribute something next time.

Thanks for plugging the Visualiser Forum Danny.

The applications for using visualiser and Interactive White Board together is one of the areas we will hopefully be investigating.

Please also join the facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14796781249

No problem Adrian.

Discussing and demonstrating the use of visualisers on IWB's is something I'd like to do on here (and on my courses). I just need to get hold of one to play with for a while....

Danny,

Give me an email on Adrian.kite@avermedia.com and I am sure we can loan you a visualiser.
