We are pleased to be able to offer you this free CPD opportunity on behalf of the High School of Glasgow.

This latest event will be taking place on the evening of Tuesday 10th March 2015 at the High School of Glasgow – in the library. TeachMeets are very informal learning events run for teachers by teachers. They are voluntary, non-commercial, free and most definitely non-profit!

These particular series of TeachMeets look at the huge opportunities for teaching and learning that mobile devices can offer. We look to bring together those who are interested in using the technologies with those who have already been using them. There are various opportunities to contribute, either by giving a short (up to 7 minutes) or very short (up to 2 minutes) presentation on any aspect of tablet use (favourite app, review of rollout, pupil experiences, tablet pitfalls and benefits, project review…); by taking part in or leading a round table discussion/workshop on some aspect of tablet use or else simply by coming along and joining in and helping to build a network of professionals who are using or interested in using tablets in education.

With regards to Professional Update, there are many ways that attendance at TeachMeet Tablet could contribute to a teacher’s Professional Learning Record, a document is attached with a few suggestions for which Standards an individual may wish to reflect upon as an attendee at or contributor to TeachMeet Tablet – TeachMeet Tablet Professional Update PDF

The full details of the TeachMeet are on the wiki page, and people can sign up on there, or by using the Google Form (links provided below).

Alternatively, anyone interested in attending could even just email me their details, and I would be delighted to add their details! My address is ihallahan@hsog.co.uk

I understand it is a busy time of year – as always! – but it would be great if anyone that wanted to could come along. Our previous events have brought attendees from as far away as Edinburgh, Inverclyde and even Dumfries & Galloway, and we have had a number of colleagues from the independent sector too. All the feedback we have received to date has been very positive.
