TeachMeetNZ 2015 Session 2


On Saturday TeachMeetNZ session went live.
We had Natasha Walden who works with the RTLBs share 'My Experience as a Gamer'. For the session there were 8x New Zealand educators sharing their passion. To read more, check out Sonya's reflection. 

Thanks to Virginia too who was there supporting as timekeeper, back up host and giving feedback. I also mention Waveney tweeting a storm as all the tweets contributed to the session trending on twitter.

Remember staff, if you wish to join me in a live streamed Google Hangout like
Let me know. What you will get out of it is the chance to connect with New Zealand Educators nationally, you will create a presentation and share it via Google+ Hangout, you will understand how twitter works for your professional learning, you will receive a digital certificate and digital badges for your professional portfolio and most importantly you will learn heaps and have huge fun

My absolute goal is to run a Newmarket only one. So think about it.

Imagine a team sharing their learning journey in the new classroom setups.
