Good morning from London where I have spent the last two days at BETT and TeachMeet BETT. The TeachMeet event was the highlight of the two days. During the TeachMeet a dozen or more teachers gave mini-presentations about the interesting ways they’re using technology in their classrooms. I sat in the front row and gleaned some great ideas from the presentations. I’ll share a bit more of that experience in some new posts next week.
Now I’m off to see the British Museum. I got lost yesterday trying to find the right tube station, so I’m sure it will happen again today. But that’s part of the fun of learning about a new place. Wherever you are this weekend, I hope that you have something fun planned too.
Here are this week’s most popular posts:
