Two Firsts…
TeachMeet Pembrokeshire (17th August) was the very first TeachMeet in Wales, and the very first time MaxiMap has attended and sponsored a TeachMeet. For those not in the know, TeachMeets are amazing get-togethers organised by enthusiastic teachers for other enthusiastic teachers and are happening all around the UK. A clear indication of job dedication is shown by the fact that all TeachMeet events are orgainsed, and take place, in the teachers’ free time.
TeachMeet Pembrokeshire was expertly organised and hosted by Bev Evans, a teacher at the Pembroke Dock Community School where the event took place and teachers came from far and wide (Manchester and beyond!) There are a variety of 7 minute, 4 minute and 2 minute presentations by the attendees, selected at random by an electronic one-arm bandit. So as well as goodie bags, good nosh and a chance to socialise, the teachers get to share exciting and innovative ideas with one another. The events are steamed live – and TeachMeet Pembrokeshire got 125 unique visitors during the day, many of whom tweeted comments which were shown on-screen.
So a very big MaxiMap thanks to Bev and the staff at www.pembrokedockschool.org.uk.
