Thank you to everyone who attended or presented at Teachmeet this evening. It went quite well I think and the digital leaders were fantastic! We had around 15 people watching online too which is nice to hear.
Thanks to Agile ICT, Lapsafe and Zondle for helping with sponsorship too!
To watch the recording, click here - In the next few days I will highlight key times when people speak so that it is easier to find presentations. For now, I’m tired so I need to sleep!
There were a number of (fantastic) people who helped us out with video presentations and I thought it would be best to share these with you online.
Bev Evans shared some of her wonderful clipart design videos. Watch them and you’ll soon be drawing amazing faces or flowers!
Jen Deyenberg talked about using Geocaching in education, Danny Nicholson shared different ways to ‘write-up’ your findings and Mark Clarkson gave some additional ways of using Google Sketchup.
A huge thank you to these people who have provided videos. The live presentations will be shared later on.
If you would like to follow the live streaming of tomorrow’s Teachmeet, click on the link below. We will be going live from about 4:15pm and will start at 4:30pm. We will also be taking photos and hopefully recording presentations too.

After the event, there will be a blog post going live with links to presentations and resources that we have used and talked about.
I hope you can join us tomorrow!
Perins School will be hosting its first TeamMeet on Tuesday 1st November from 5.00pm – 7.30pm. The event will be streamed live (touch wood!) at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/teachmeet-perins and the Twitter hashtag for the evening is #perinsTM
The event, kindly supported by Teachable, will start at 5.00pm with nibbles, drink and chat with presentations from 5.30pm – 7.30pm. For those interested in staying on there is also a TeachEat organised at the award winning Shapla Indian Restaurant (buffet if we have numbers) which is only 2 minutes walk away.
The TeachMeet will have a “Supporting, Enhancing and Transforming Learning through Technology” focus and contributions are invited by anyone who would like to share their ideas on how they have used different tools, software, projects in their classroom.
You can either present a 2 minute talk or go for the longer 7 minute one but beware that the Hampshire Hog may make an appearance for those straying beyond this time or going completely off topic (Gideon!).
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to email Gideon Williams at williams@perins.hants.sch.uk or via twitter @gideonwilliams or using the form below.
To attend or offer to present please sign up via this Google Form link. Hope to see you there!

Here is a poster for you to share with your staff. This would look great in your staffroom to advertise the upcoming Teachmeet!
For my two minute presentation I showed two silly websites that are great fun and provide a wealth of opportunity. One is the amazing Isle of Tune, which I blogged about here and that lets you compose tunes based on the car driving around the circuit. Bonkers, but fun.
The other is the Avatar Comparison Tool (again I’ve blogged this before over here) and this is a great tool from John Mclear (@johnmclear) and it can be used to create characters that can be used as online avatars. I talked about building your wild self and playing around with story characters, settings and habitats too.
I hope you enjoy these free resources.
For my presentation at Teachmeet New Milton, I talked about the use of digital images within school. We take loads of photos and I wanted to get my children to play around with them and make them a bit more…fun. So I used the Interesting Ways presentation to find some free photo-editing tools. Most of them are one-trick ponies and will only make one thing e.g. a wanted poster, but they all have the benefit of no downloads and better yet, no logins. So you can use them in a lesson without giving out usernames.
The links I shared are all compiled on the 3x3links page below.
I must say many thanks to my digital leaders who helped make the images for me in their lunch break!
I am writing to announce details of the next Teachmeet event. This will be held at St John the Baptist Primary School on Monday 17th October.
We will start the presentations at 4:30pm and aim to finish around 6:30pm. We may also be arranging some food for afters, so do let us know if you want to join us! There will be some snacks and nibbles during the evening too, these are coming courtesy of Agile ICT and Lapsafe.
This Teachmeet will have a primary focus and we would love to get people coming along to share their ideas. I will be getting a few children to present too, so if you would like to bring children please let me know.
If you have any questions, email mail@ianaddison.net or tweet me @ianaddison

We’re sure that visitors to this site know what a TeachMeet is, if not, explore the links above. The exciting news is that there will be a TeachMeet Hants this term!
If you’d like to come along or talk, see below.
The main thing is to come along to tell a story about learning adventures! This could just be by listening to those doing the talking, or chatting to the others that turn up.
It would be great to see new (and old!) faces. There’s no need to talk about technology, you could just tell a story about how you’ve used your school grounds, a new group activity, something slightly naughty even…
The details that you need:
When and Where?
Priory School Specialist Sports College,
Fawcett Road, Southsea, Portsmouth, PO4 0DL.
Wednesday 13th July
5pm to 7pm.
If you’d like to come along, whether it’s to listen or talk, there’s a Google Form for you to fill out. Sign up closes on the 1st July so that we can get out heads around the exact venue etc!
All tweets etc about the get together should use the hashtag #tmhants
The first of what will hopefully be a regular series of events will be held in the Performing Arts Centre at Ballard School from 5.30 to 8.00 on Thursday 29th September.
Please sign up here in order to attend, whether it be as a presenter, an enthusiastic lurker or a tapas-contributor (you will HAVE to visit the sign-up page just to satisfy your curiosity about that last bit!)
Any questions? Contact Alex Bellars either at alex.bellars@ballardschool.co.uk or @bellaale on Twitter…
See you in September!
