The third annual TeachMeet KY will be held this Friday, October 5, at Gary Randsdell Hall on WKU's main campus. Tom and Gary will be presenting on the Enneagram personality typing system and its applications for classroom practice and teacher and school leader professional development.
TeachMeets are fairly informal gatherings of educators who come to share ideas about best practices, especially in how to use technology to enhance and engage student learning. According to the TeachMeet KY Wikispaces site, TeachMeets are "unconferences:"
Unconference means we don’t charge anything to attend and sessions are decided upon by participants. Typically TeachMeets are fast paced (20 min sessions), tech sharing, friend making, and never boring gatherings of people sharing web 2.0 tools for education.
TeachMeets originated in the United Kingdom. Watch this video to learn more about how they work:
