Ten-minute session demonstrating Kahoot to Librarians from HE/FE/secondary schools, and how it can be used in teaching.
Here is a link to the Kahoot that we play https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/e88f72ab-60d6-4d78-8127-63cbf8ddd31a
This is a workshop that I presented for the Faculty Teaching Excellence Program of CU-Boulder in Feb 2012.

This workshop will focus on writing those questions for use with peer instruction that engage students, spark their curiosity, help recap material, give you insight into their thinking, or help them learn critical ideas in your discipline. We will investigate the surprising power of multiple-choice questions to achieve critical thinking skills. We will practice writing questions that align with our goals for students, discuss the elements of effective questions, and look at various examples to get ideas for our own courses.
What the method involves,
When and why the method might be useful
Some key decisions and challenges
Some ethical issues
How we in NCRM are benefiting from the method?
Confucius wisely said, “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” As trainers of systems, we recognize the importance of live training and hands-on practice in a classroom. However, as we’re moving into the virtual classroom to reduce expenses, we need a whole new skill set to engage learners. During this workshop, exchange practical ideas that you can use to engage learners by promoting “doing” and understanding in remote instruction. Explore some of the issues you may encounter, and learn possible solutions.
Speakers: Jeannie Szombathy, Cathie Logan, and Latanya Washington, AIG

Why blogging works as formative assessmentTansy Jessop
A small-scale study of the use of formative blogging on an undergraduate programme to foster student reading and production of knowledge. This was refined on a Masters in L&T.
It is a tremendous challenge to deliver quality emergency services education. The hurdles that have to be overcome by program directors and individual educators to meet objectives and help students achieve competencies can be discouraging at best. That's why we have to stick together. Here is a treasure-trove of top-tips for educators.

An observation on the over reliance on powerJames Zaworski
Many educators rely too heavily on power point presentations, and do so often at the expense of their teaching and at the expense of student's interest, and ability to learn.

Learning environment optimisation: Doing less with more for better outcomesStephen Dann
A maxi-edition of my guide to Learning Management Environment optimisation, whereby we hack the workload model to our favour, make marking easier (and more fun) for the lecturer, and put the students second in the pursuit of "How can we use this teaching technology to deliver something superior to our own work days?". Because quite often, the better systems for improving academic workplace effectiveness never get sold on the basis of "Want to do less work with more resources for better personal outcomes?"

Flipped Classrooms: A Powerful Teaching Tool, But Not a PanaceaRich McCue
Adopting a flipped classroom approach can free up valuable in-class time by using videos and exercises that students watch and complete as homework, or “pre-work." This allows teachers to more easily differentiate their instruction and allows students to learn at their own pace. Teachers can typically spend more one-on-one time with students who are struggling during class time, and allows for more student selected project based learning to engage students. This talk includes an overview of the flipped learning model, a demonstration of one approach to flipping a classroom, and discussion of where flipped learning works and does not work well—along with equity issues to keep in mind when implementing.
Slides from my talk at SLG Regional Event at City of London School, 27th Oct 2017. I spoke about the demands of HE and what first year students need at undergraduate level, what we teach them and how school librarians can prepare young people for transition to undergraduate study.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. What is Kahoot?
•Quizzing/surveying tool
•Multiple choice Q&A
•Non-device specific
•Best delivered live/in-the-room
•Go to kahoot.it in a browser
3. Q1: what’s this?
•Start off with a practice question of some
kind
•Maybe something light-hearted, funny(-ish)
•Points for correct answers but this can be
turned off
4. Q2: what type of source is this?
• Test their knowledge – identifying a type of source from the
reference
• Give plenty of time for questions that take thought
• Use questions of this type to see where gaps are
• For this question I used an image of the reference because of
the character count restriction…
• I give students out an individual sheet, to show anything
that needs a closer look at
5. Q3: when you begin research…
•Survey-type questions
•What are student habits, or opinions, on
something you will be teaching on?
•All answers are marked as correct for this
(because it’s set up as a quiz)
•Change your answer allowance time
6. Q4: what is the ft.com?
• How aware are students of key resources in their subject of
study?
• Chance to promote a source or reiterate the importance of
particular database etc
• “… if you haven’t used this one by now I would be
concerned…”
• Follow with a question about the types of information you
might find on this resource
7. Q5: where is the title of the journal?
•Identifying particular elements on a page, or
source
•“Where would you find…”
•Test knowledge or skills
•Give shorter amount of time for some extra
jeopardy...
8. Q6: what is the student using…?
• You can also add a youtube video to your question
• Ask a question for students to answer as they watch
• It will start the answer timer once the video ends but
students can answer while the video plays
• Moves on to next question once everyone has answered…
• If you want them to watch the whole thing then make your
question about something that comes up at the end of the
video.
9. Finally…
• Starter or mid-session activity to:
• Engage and enthuse
• Set up the session and highlight potential gaps
• Break and re-energise
• Plenary to test/refresh learning
• Challenge mode for playing outside of the session (app-only)
• Set as pre-session prep to inform your planning
• Set as homework to test learning and retention
• Statistics for every time you use/play a kahoot… impact/assessment

Editor's Notes
There are times when, you’re about to start a workshop on a Friday afternoon, mid-winter, on referencing and how this can get you better grades and the group give you a look that’s a bit like Gaston’s here… I’m going to show you Kahoot as I think it’s a useful tool to engage students.
If you haven’t heard of it, it is … [explain from slide]
The best way to introduce you to Kahoot, in ten minutes, is to get you playing a Kahoot… so here goes
[next slides, in grey, are prompts to explain each question as we go through the kahoot. Don’t need to be shown]
Once Kahoot is completed then sum up from this slide.
Explain examples of stats taken from previous kahoots.
