WEB2.0: Preparing students for their world not ours.Anne-Mart Olsen
This presentation is based on a paper presented at the 5th Annual IIE Celebration of Teaching and Learning Academic Conference (Cape Town):
Exploring New Learning Spaces
What is academic development ~ With a touch of tech.Anne-Mart Olsen
Academic development is everybody's responsibility and we need to take co-responsibility to holistically develop or ourselves and our students to enable epistemological access, in addition to formal access in order to facilitate student success. Technology in education is one way we are able to facilitate student success through academic development.

Vinyl is an invaluable material for giving learners experience with the fabrication process - both digital and physical. There is tool use and technique, digital design skills that can go from beginner to much more advanced levels, a wide variety of color choices for customization and personalization, and the overall joy one feels when the put a sticker they made on something! More importantly, vinyl is a great way to get a lot of laps with tinkering and iteration - meaning, its a great way to learn. This workshop will give participants a chance to "learn by doing” through the creation of a scaffolded set vinyl sticker projects, but will also have a heavy emphasize the maker-centered learning practices and constructivist pedagogies necessary to make creating with vinyl - or any material for that matter - a success in their own classrooms.
Provocations - Designing Experiences to Nurture Innovation and CreativityJames Tiffin Jr.
One goal of maker-centered classrooms is to have students make purposeful and imaginative creations. A more important goal is to develop the maker mindsets that help them to continually do so on their own - to become innovative if you will. The burden of coming up with project ideas needn't be the teacher's, but can instead be the students'. The teacher's responsibility becomes creating conditions in which children's innate imagination and curiosity can lead to creative and innovative outcomes. But this isn’t as straightforward as one might think. In fact, it is actually quite challenging, especially when you consider the material and tool options available (or not available) in schools. The workshop will share pedagogical practices that have been developed and used by veteran #MakerEd educators in their own classrooms, which span PS-12 settings. Participants will leave the session equipped with a framework that can help guide them via a more intentional planning approach to designing maker experiences. But this isn’t a sit-and-get course. Participants will make their way through a number of experiences designed using this framework to give them playful opportunities to explore new possibilities. Come ready to build, both physically and mentally!
Purposefully Exploring a Student's Worlds through Wandering and WonderingJames Tiffin Jr.
“If we want our children to move mountains, we must first let them get out of their chairs.” --Nicolette Sowder
Few disagree on the need for students’ educational experiences to be more personalized, and also driven by their own curiosities. The challenge, as educators charged with designing such experiences, is typically how and where to start. This interactive session will address both challenges by providing participants with the skills and tools needed to lead a learning expedition, while also strengthening their mindset towards harnessing a student’s natural sense of wonder. Using a customizable field guide of Project Zero VTRs and graphic organizers, we will (ad)venture out of our workshop space and into the community to look closely at the world, finding opportunities for meaningful exploration and engagement by learners. Perhaps we’ll be driven towards Arts and Civic Participation opportunities, or maybe opportunities to generate Agency in our malleable world. Each participant will make their expedition their own. And through that shared experience, we’ll then Collaborate as teachers to determine what our next learning steps are. By the conclusion of the workshop, participants will have had their first lap in an expeditionary flow that they can recreate with their own students.
Designing and Making a Better World - Boulder EditionJames Tiffin Jr.
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” - Abraham Lincoln
The world is a malleable place. How will you shape it? - MakerEd and Design Thinking are a potent combination that can catalyze the development of learner agency. At Mount Vernon Presbyterian School and the Mount Vernon Institute for Innovation, we’ve been working for years to set conditions for our learners to be real-world problem solvers. More recently, we’ve layered in more Maker, Design and Engineering (MDE) efforts to increase the sophistication of our prototyping and problem solving. And we’ve introduced “Design Briefs” and “Provocations!” We want to share our methods and stories and learn from yours.
For this expedition, we will give participants a chance to witness the impact they can make for members of the Boulder community. We’ll seek out authentic users to have at the center of our design thinking work, and then explore the pedagogy of tinkering through hands-on/minds-on fabrication. We are hoping to engage with a hospital community for our user group, and we plan to co-opt some more advanced Maker equipment, such as a Carvey, to create higher resolution prototypes that address the identified needs of people at the hospital. HMW create playful gear to brighten the days and experiences of those in the Boulder medical community?
Real-World Learning in Size 5 Sneakers: Learning in the Field with Elementary...James Tiffin Jr.
I wonder why there is so much trash along the river. I wonder what happens to the milk at the grocery store that goes bad. I wonder why the sign at the library reads, “No bathing, No washing, No loitering.” There are a lot of things in our world that elementary students are curious about. How might we, as teachers, guide the explorations of students’ own curiosities even when those ideas might be thought of as out-of-reach for our learners? In this expedition, we’ll go out into the Boulder community to explore part of the city from the perspective of an elementary student. We’ll generate questions from our observations, then refine and define them as solvable problems through an elementary lens. We’ll reflect on ways to connect traditional classroom content areas to an authentic, transdisciplinary, real-world experience for our students, and share practices for managing that experience. Grab a Go-Go Squeeze and juice box, and come rediscover the learnable world through the eyes of an eight year old.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...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.
