This session was an interactive look at what Gamification is, what the building blocks are to implementing a Gamified process for an organisation or a cause and an in depth look at some case studies of Gamification already in use today. We also played some games, indeed the whole session was run as a competitive game, and work-shopped up some ways to implement Gamification in the participants' own businesses.

Curio Conference

The creative industries are obsessed with excellence. From Cannes Gold Lions to the Golden Globes, we love to celebrate the very best. But how healthy is it to measure what we do against the top 0.00001% of everything that an industry produces? And how realistic is it for us to expect ourselves to move our creative work - or, more often our client’s business – from bad to award-winning in a single bound? Brand planner and author Chris McCrudden suggests a third way. Before beating ourselves up for not going straight for fantastic, why don’t we get there by first being less shit. Chris is a brand planner and novelist who balances a full-time life devising communications and brand strategies for clients including Heineken and HSBC with a part-time life writing comic genre fiction and narrative non-fiction. He tries to bring both sides of his life together by advocating for greater inclusion of and compassion for underrepresented groups in the media we consume and the marketing that shows us the lives we want to lead. Sometimes he's successful. His latest book, the kitchen sink dystopia Battle Beyond the Dolestars was published in September 2019 by Farrago Press.

Celebritize Yourself (Book Excerpt)

Jon Hansen

Who is This Book For? Celebritizing Yourself is about branding yourself as an expert. Yes, to become a celebrity is no easy feat, but in today’s world, it is easier than ever. Thanks to the popularity of talk show formats on radio and major network TV, the highly specialized programming on cable TV, the explosion of Internet shows, Web site online PR and marketing, the countless newsletters and industry conventions and about a bazillion speaking groups all seeking a strong, interesting topic for their next seminar, keynote or sponsorship, there are more ways to become a celebrity than there are, well, celebrities! Anyone – in any business – can become a celebrity following my proven 3-Step Method. Anyone from the homeless to the candy shop clerk to the housewife to the professor to the entrepreneur to the CEO can become a celebrity – they already have! To celebritize oneself is not merely to gain fame or fortune. It’s to share one’s life experiences with others who may be in search of, and in need of, your wisdom. That’s the guiding philosophy for becoming a celebrity. The satisfaction is its own reward. Link to Marsha's Profile: http://piwindowonbusiness.wordpress.com/book-resource-center/marsha-friedman/

Levi Shapiro

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg, The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation. This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability. Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots. The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee. • The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act. • The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X. • The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
