This post aims to inform you of our events this year.  What's our goal?  To connect Manawatū educators; to facilitate teaching and learning in the 21st Century and to have a bit of fun along the way.

Our plan for the year is to organise an informal "get together" during Terms 1 & 3 #pubpdpalmy During Terms 2 & 4 we will organise our formal events: #educamppalmy and #eduignitepalmy .  For planning purposes, we will try to organise our events during "Week 5" of each term.  You think: "Week 5, great it's time for another awesome PalmyEd event!"

SO without further ado the dates and venues for our first 2 events for 2016 are:
- #pubpdpalmy "Bring a colleague": 3:45pm Thursday 3rd March, Speights Ale House, Palmerston North.
- #educamppalmy "Best free PD" in Palmy:  10:00am Saturday 28th May, Riverdale School, Palmerston North.

What do you want to get out of this group?  Please let us know your thoughts via email, twitter or comments.
