The document provides guidance on brainstorming and idea generation. It discusses why brainstorming is useful for generating innovative ideas in a short period of time and incorporating different perspectives. It then lists rules for effective brainstorming, including deferring judgment, focusing on quantity, building on others' ideas, maintaining one conversation at a time, using visuals, and capturing ideas quickly. The document also provides tips for writing "How Might We" questions to launch brainstorms, such as breaking down perspectives and exploring opposites. It stresses selecting and developing ideas based on their potential rather than feasibility, and using selection criteria like likelihood of success, delight, and breakthrough impact.

Yes, My Iguana Loves to Cha-Cha: Improv, Creativity and CollaborationSteve Portigal
Improv is not "stand-up comedy." It's a series of games with rules that offer huge degrees of freedom within a set of constraints. In these games we bring out a lot of basic, quickly understood and communicated rules of culture that are implicit, not explicit. The activities of design (collaboration, creativity, and design research, for starters) have interesting similarities with improv: All have in-the-moment aspects; we learn upon reflection; there's enormous unspoken interaction and there is often an "aha" moment. Design and improv also have important similarities: the need to collaborate and brainstorm, the importance of breakthrough thinking, the balance between process, structure, and unfettered creativity.
Playing with improv can make us more mindful of the power of listening, and can be harnessed to create a more collaborative work culture, as a way to develop one's own creativity, or to help warm up teammates and clients in workshops and design sessions. In this interactive presentation you will learn more about improv, listening, creativity, and how they all connect together to support one another. No iguanas will be harmed.

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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

1. be mindful of process
empathize
test
define
ideate
prototype
2. why brainstorm?
to generate maximum
innovative potential…
in a short amount of time
to incorporate different
perspectives…
build EXCITEMENT,
GAIN ALIGNMENT,
and TRANSFER
IDEAS
3. brainstorming rules
Defer judgment
Separating idea generation from idea
selection strengthens both activities. For
now, suspend critique, knowing that you’ll
have plenty of time to evaluate the ideas
after the brainstorm.
Go for quantity
The best way to get to any good idea, is to
generate many ideas.
Encourage wild ideas
Breakout ideas can be found right next to
the absurd ones.
4. brainstorming rules
Build on the ideas of others
Listen to and add to the flow of ideas. This
will springboard your group to places no
individual can reach alone.
One conversation at a time
Maintain group momentum. Save side
conversations for later.
5. brainstorming rules
Be visual
Display each idea on the wall with a quick,
descriptive phrase or sketch.
Headline
Capture the essence quickly and move on.
Don’t stall the group by explaining the fine
details of a complex idea.
6. how might we …?
HMWs are...
short statements
built on a POV
that launch brainstorms
7. how to make HMWs
Sample Challenge
Redesign the ground experience at the local
international airport
POV
Harried mother of three, rushing through the airport only to
wait hours at the gate, needs to entertain her playful children
because “annoying little brats” only irritate already frustrated
fellow passengers.
8. how to make HMWs
POV
Harried mother of three, rushing through the airport only to wait hours at the gate, needs to
entertain her playful children because “annoying little brats” only irritate already frustrated
fellow passengers.
Break POV into pieces HMW entertain kids? HMW slow a mom
down? HMW mollify delayed passengers?
Amp up the good HMW use the kids’ energy to entertain fellow
passengers?
Remove the bad HMW separate the kids from fellow passengers?
Explore the opposite HMW make the wait the most exciting part of the
trip?
9. how to make HMWs
POV
Harried mother of three, rushing through the airport only to wait hours at the gate, needs to
entertain her playful children because “annoying little brats” only irritate already frustrated
fellow passengers.
ID unexpected resources HMW leverage the free time of fellow
passengers to share the load?
Create an analogous context HMW make the airport like a spa? Like
a playground?
Question an assumption: HMW entirely remove the wait time at the
airport?
10. idea selection is a critical step
All the creative, wild, bad, When evaluated by how
& undeveloped ideas from “attractive” or how “feasible” they
your brainstorm
are
Tend to yield familiar
results
11. select + develop high potential ideas
All the creative, wild, bad,
& undeveloped ideas from
your brainstorm
Selected instead for
their potential
Can be developed
for feasibility
12. vote using three selection criteria
“Most likely to
succeed”
Place two votes on the ideas that you think are
most likely to successfully address your “how
might we”
“Most likely to
delight”
Place two votes on the ideas that you think
would delight the user (without regard for
practical constraints)
“Most breakthrough if
…”
Place two votes on the most breakthrough
ideas (if a real world constraint were to be
ignored)
