Welcome to the website for TeachtheTeachers Meet
This ‘TeachMeet’ will be unique as it is being organised and run by students (namely the Digital Leaders of Fulford School) with the focus on students speaking at the event and teachers/educators in the audience.
The event will be held at the Fulford School on 28th June 2012.
