Voc Talk café (4 hours)
Integrated into the Voc Talk world is the Voc Talk café, an informal, drop-in session where all VT actors can come and discuss their trade, get help with a teaching situation or learn about integrating technology into their lab, (and yes, sometimes I fix phones!). No PED day required! The café is about getting to know each other and creating a space where we can talk about all things trade and teaching – bring your lunch, have a snack or a cuppa and let’s chat!
