Town Hall meeting
Do you go to the Learning Resources Town Hall meetings? Do you find them useful, interesting, helpful?
If you’ve answered ‘no’ to either question above, I would be really interested in meeting you to have a chat about how these meetings could be improved. (Or feel free to post in the comments below!)
If you really enjoy the Town Halls, or have a topic you’re interested in hearing about, or want to present, I’d also love to hear from you. I’ve been asked to help organise the next meeting and it’d be great to bring in your ideas and suggestions.
