"Thanks to the efforts of Roland and Leigh, the Teachmeet Melbourne community had a lovely gathering on February 8. It was encouraging to see so many teachers brave the 40 deg temperatures, but not surprising given that the venue was a lovely pub with air conditioning and bar!

"2013 is starting with a wonderful event arranged by Roland Gesthuizen with the support of ICT in Education Victoria. Teachmeets depend on the participants getting involved - everyone knows something that is interesting to someone else!"
"TeachMeets are an exciting model of professional development making waves in the Melbourne teaching community. A TeachMeet is an informal meeting for teachers to share and discuss their classroom practise. Another term to describe these meets is an unconference. Presenters speak for either seven or two minutes on a topic of choice that is related to classroom practice.

"While attending the recent Teachmeet at Lt Markov, +Roland Gesthuizen posed the question, what do you expect from +Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria? It is a part of a bigger question that I don't believe we ask very often, what we actually expect from an educational association? It got me thinking about how these expectations have changed in the last few years."
