Just when you you were waiting . . . 2 #edchatie discussions come along at once!

This week sees two separate #edchatie discussions.

CHAT 1: MONDAY 12th OCTOBER:

On Monday we're celebrating with @mathsweek and will be discussing 3 topics during the hour long discussion - and these are:

1. Strategies for problem solving in maths
2. How parents can help their children
3. Sharing useful teaching strategies

We'll spend 20 minutes on each topic to allow for them all to be covered, so keep an eye out for the call to change topic every 20 minutes.

CHAT 2: THURSDAY 15th OCTOBER:

The #edchatie timeslot of 8.30-9.30pm will be live on, of all days, Thursday 15th October to help celebrate #EducationDay, a European-wide, Twitter-based sharing by all those in Education.
