Teachmeet ‘06

22 09 2006

Teachmeet was a great success – I was able to put a lot more faces to names I have read over the past year. The informalness (I don’t think that is a word) of the event was definitely a major plus, at times several of us were sat on the floor, similar to pupils in primary schools ☺ The only problem with these events is that you pick up so many great ideas and there aren’t enough hours in the day to investigate them all.

I would personally like to thank the speakers: Theo, David, Ollie, Chris, John, Kate & Sean, it was a shame we didn’t have anymore time to listen to anyone else.

A big thanks most go to both Stormhoek for supplying the wine and Promethean for paying the exorbitant corkage charges charged by the Crowne Plaza, and also for Ewan for doing the bulk of the organisation.

The meal at the Goat was a great success and I eventually got to meet Mrs Mc (Morgane).

I hope I get an invite up to SETT again next year so I can meet you all again and gain from your wealth of experience and creativity.

PS Ewan, we need to get a photo of you in your t-shirt.

Hi Steve

It was great meeting you - you’ve a great blog and thanks again for that Prensky talk earlier in the year.

I’m having trouble subscribing you your blog. What is the feed?

David, I am glad you like it. I think the feed is: http://tarannau.ethink.org.uk//feed/

I hope we can meet up again, it was nice to put a face to the podcast.

It would have been great to hear more ideas at the TeachMeet e.g. I think Ian Stuart (name?) was going to say something about the handheld project he is involved with - I would have liked to hear more about that.

I had a projector and screen in the boot of my car. Maybe we should have set up in the Goat and corried on there.

Hope you manage to get back up next year. I may be in contact about Game Maker. Would that be OK?

“PS Ewan, we need to get a photo of you in your t-shirt.”

The t-shirt was meant as a joke and it got fairly grotty with dog hair when I made it. I suspect we missed our photo opportunity at the TeachMeet - we should have made him put it on then and there. If Mrs EduBlogs has any sense, she will never let him been seen with it again in public.

David - feel free to get in touch about game maker [steve at 20.me.uk]

Maybe we all should get t-shirts for next year
