Feedback

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

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.

About the TeachMeetNZ project

TeachMeetNZ was about New Zealand teachers connecting online. The project reflected the research and work of New Zealand educators in action. The live events were convened across all education sectors to address the emerging technologies, trends, and challenges poised to significantly impact teaching and learning. TeachMeetNZ started live streaming in May 2013 but currently is no longer active.
