With the Scottish Learning Festival fast approaching many of us start turning our thoughts to the ‘fringe’ that is TeachMeet08. Will you be able to join us in Glasgow on the 24th?

It’s incredible to think that TeachMeet is now on its 9th edition… My first one was the fantastic ‘small room‘ with the likes of David Weinberger of Everything is Miscellaneous fame (now in paperback) sitting on the floor!

Last year, by comparison, we were in the spacious luxury of the Glasgow Science Centre and yet, it was not the location that mattered but the fantastic conversations and connections made on the night. This year’s is already shaping up to be another great occasion to discuss a multitude of innovative ideas and practice and YOU can do your bit as well. Go to the wiki and sign up to do a 7 or 2 minute talk, or lurk, or even better, offer to help out with the organisation… especially if you can lay your hands on a suitable venue… Yes, the burning question for Teachmeet08 at the moment is WHERE?

We’re still looking for a venue so if you have a moderately sized space with a bar and wi-fi then head over to the TeachMeet wiki and make us an offer we can’t refuse!

Sign up, get involved, and I’m looking forward to meeting you in Glasgow on the 24th!
