TeachMeetGA 2012!

January 21, 2012

[Watch for the 2013 date soon.]

TeachMeetGA 2012 grew significantly this year, even though a torrential rainstorm complicated travel. As people process all they learned, follow hashtag #tmga12 on Twitter for updates then begin to watch for the hashtag #tmga13 as we plan for next year.

TeachMeet is a grassroots experience organized by educators, for educators. People who have been to TeachMeet like to call it the unconference. TeachMeet (un)conferences happen all over the world. They are put on by teachers, for teachers, at no cost. These FREE events are underwritten by generous sponsors.

SCHEDULE: The schedule for the 2012 event is available. Recordings from sessions in Rooms 300 & 400 will be posted soon hospedagem.

Resources from TeachMeet Georgia 2012 session are available.

TeachMeetGA is January 21, 2012, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It will be held at the Continuing Education Center of Kennesaw State University.
You will be able to network and see what works for real teachers in their classrooms.
Refreshments/lunch will be provided to allow ample time for networking and collaboration.
Anyone can present and the topics are open, so click on the presentation pages to submit topic ideas. We want this to be useful to teachers, so the teachers coming have input and control over the conference.
The presentations and organization will reflect best practices that we can model for our students.
There will be no long PowerPoint presentations.
Presentations are 15-20 minutes long and there is always more than one running at once, so everyone should be able to find things that suit their interest.
Presentations can be made in person or via Skype. We encourage you to include students and/or student products in presentations.
FREE wireless is available and you are encouraged to bring your laptop, netbook, iPad, Servidor Dedicado etc.
A computer lab monitored by an experienced user will be available for participants to explore tools like presented during the presentations.
This (un)conference will focus mostly on applications of educational technology for authentic learning. This encompasses Web 2.0 tools, learning management systems, wikis, Nings, social networks, Google Tools, and more.
