Speed Dating is not for whimpy teachers! (or married men)

Well, I'm typing this very late after watching the Socceroos get trounced 3-1 by the Iraqis in football - it's Asian Cup time and I'm slowly starting to wish it wasn't!

But enough about that disappointment, cause today I had huge success in a "Speed Dating" teacher training event at my school, where four of my teachers rotated between computers that were connected to expert teachers around the world - two from the States and one Kiwi. It was a super time with big thanks going to the people who made it possible: Sheryl, Jen and Allanah.

Don't believe how well it went? Just listen to how it transpired and tell me its not wonderful that teachers can connect across the oceans of the world and chat about how to make a deeper mark in the sand of education!

I'm sure you're teachers got a lot out of the "speed dating" session. A fantastic idea to connect your teachers to these fabulous 'experts'!
