#TeachMeetNZ Science

This #TeachMeetNZ science session was broadcast live on 21 March 2015. There was a fantastic line up of New Zealand educators sharing their science teaching experiences as well as special overseas guest Adam Taylor (founder of #scistuchat).

The session was hosted by Cath Battersby from the Science Learning Hub and Sonya Van Shaijik, who set up the TeachMeet project in New Zealand. There were nine mini presentations (all under 3 minutes each).

Feedback

I had been inspired enough to go out and do something different in class.

Teacher

I thought it was excellent! ... the material covered was very relevant and when I showed it to the secondary grads in class last week they also considered it very useful for them as early teachers.
