I love it when a TeachMeet comes together...

A few weeks ago when I made the How to organise a TeachMeet in four weeks! post, I wasn't sure if we could pull it off but it looks like it's all coming together nicely.

I love the way so many people have pulled together and pitched in. It's not right to single out one person... but I would like to say that I've been feeling guilty because I hadn't done anything about sponsorship and with time running out I was very pleased to see that John has made first contact with the teaching unions.

So, please go to the TeachMeet Student Edition site and see what you can do to help make the first Student focused TeachMeet a success.

How to organise a TeachMeet in four weeks!

Announcing TeachMeet Student Edition 09 - #tmse09

The proposed date of 9th June is an insanely tight deadline but I thought it was worth a try. What's the worst that can happen? :-)

Some time ago I floated the idea of having a TeachMeet that was pitched at student and probationer teachers (TraineeTeachMeet). It was generally felt to be a good idea. I started some initial work and a very competent and wonderful student from Glasgow University, who was at TeachMeet Borders, did some work checking out venues etc. However, deadline doom took over my life and I dropped the ball.

I am not at all sure that it is possible to organise a TeachMeet in four weeks but thought it was better to try and fail than not to try at all.

I've created the wiki page (PBWorks now I notice rather than PBWiki) and I'll do some more publicising and organisation this afternoon. However, that's it officially launched. It's an unconference, so lets see what we can do, together, in four weeks!
