[http://flickr.com/photos/tags/teachmeetperth/ Flickr Photos tagged teachmeetperth] ==What is TeachMeet?== Learn something new, be amazed, amused and enthused. This is an informal gathering of those curious about technologies. Anyone can share cool ideas they have or great ideas they've trialled in their classrooms. '''What can you do?''' You can come along to linger, loiter, contribute, chat, meet new people, or '''give a seven minute talk''' or a '''two minute nano presentation'''. Rules for the talk: * It's only seven minutes long * Your setup is part of the seven minutes TeachMeet08 north was announced on Mr. W's blog: [http://nwinton.wordpress.com/2007/10/13/teachmeet08-northern-edition/ TeachMeet08 - Northern Edition!] you can pickup a logo from flickr: [http://www.flickr.com/photos/83129246@N00/1554329021 TeachMeet08 north logo] and use it to spread the news.

Then a meal in a venue '''TBA''' '''I know this is a silly question but what time does it start?''' - Not a silly question! I can't believe I forgot to put the time on the wiki before now! (It's on the poster!) Is anyone staying overnight in Perth? If so - where? - thanks! For those unable to make it to Perth, a FlashMeeting (web conference) is PLANNED from 6-9pm. There is space for 25 participants. You can participate by going to http://flashmeeting.e2bn.net/fm/ec6117-2852 Click on 'Go to meeting', then 'Enter meeting as a guest'. You can join us via webcam or audio only. Technical info is at http://flashmeeting.e2bn.net/help.html. There will be a live feed from Perth (from around 6.30-8.30pm) subject to wifi. ==Who?== '''YOU! Just click 'edit' and add your name, blog or website link and an idea of what you would like to share in seven minutes, if you want to share anything.''' Important: the last teachmeet page attracted the interest of the spammers, so I've protected it by making it editable only by registered users. Sorry about the hassle, but it's a quick and easy process - use the link on the top right.
