Hey all,

 

Official message:

The next M25 get together (planned for Monday 6th July) has been postponed. Unfortunately we have not had a high level of interest in presenting at this meeting and quite a low number of registrations. We will reschedule in due course and apologise for the short notice

 

I add:

 

Even though the Nightmare theme is the best theme we have ever had suggested, almost none of you showed any interest in presenting. Shame on you! ;)

Just kidding. We expect that due to a lack of promotional push and it being summer this didn’t grab your attention as much as it could have done. So we are going to plan it (with the same theme!) for autumn, September or October instead. So you have plenty of time to think about presenting then.

Apologies for short notice – and see some of you perhaps at APT in Greenwich on Tuesday instead!

To the rest of you: happy happy summer, see you in autumn!

 

Sonja

Subject: M25 summer meeting "Dreams & Nightmares" - CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

 

Hello all, 

here's something to keep you busy over the Bank Holiday weekend - a CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS. 

 

The next M25 get together is going to be on Monday 6th July from 1pm -5pm at UCL. 

 

Our theme is "Dreams & nightmares". 

 

 We are now accepting ideas/ proposals to present under any of these 5 'strands': 

  1. projects that are just dreamy (worked well, scaled up fine, motivated others to do the same, projects you're particularly proud of)
  2. projects that turned from dreams into nightmares (the idea was great but then x did y and it all went wrong)
  3. one person's dream is another person's nightmare (different experiences of teachers and edTech support e.g.)
  4. nightmare projects (the ones that make you want to quit)
  5. "I have my own interpretation of 'dreams & nightmares'"

 

Within this guiding theme, we would particularly encourage cross institutional experiences; we would like you to consider diverse formats. We'll accept basic presentations, but encourage panel discussions, Q and A sessions, workshops, magic shows, technology try outs and so on. 

 

Of course, if there is something you have been working on that you want to share with our community, and are reluctant to shoe-horn it into the theme, then by all means send your idea to:

When sending in ideas, please include a rough outline, an idea of the format (presentation, workshop, magic show, poem recital), any edTech you might use (BYOD, polling, quizzes, multimedia, none) and the theme strand it falls under (if at all). It will help me put together a varied and interesting programme. 

 

Have a great weekend y'all!

 

Sonja
