Tomorrow morning, another TeachMeet is going to take place - this one will be held online. 33 presenters from 20 countries have signed up.They're going to talk about the projects they carried out, the ideas that worked, the web tools they used .

Join us on this virtual trip around the world and get inspired and motivated by inspiring teachers who dare to teach differently. They're just a click away .
