Presentation for the Library Communications Conference.
Improve your library’s image through better digital photography. Taking pictures is more than just pointing the camera and pressing a button. To get the kind of photos libraries need for promotional purposes, attendees will learn more about the basics of digital photography and how to get the most out of digital cameras. Concepts such as framing, lighting and ISO will be reviewed. Working with a DSLR camera will be highlighted. Attendees will review images and discuss how library photos can be improved through simple editing techniques. Transition from taking just snapshots to producing inspired images that will make your library shine!
In the past, when all we had was film photography, we had to be very selective of the kind of pictures we wanted to take. I’m sure there wouldn't be half as many ‘selfies’ ‘photo bombs’ or ‘duck pouts’ as there are today. Images have a strong emotional factor, and emotions have a powerful pull on us as human beings.

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.
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.

Digital Photography to the Rescue - Workshop for Librarians

2. If they don’t know what
you’re library is doing,
then you’re not telling
them!
Understanding your
community.
How do I currently reach
patrons?
How could I do a better
job?
Budget for PR!
6. What are pixels? The word "pixel"
means a picture element. Every
photograph, in digital form, is made
up of pixels. They are the smallest
unit of information that makes up a
picture. Usually round or square,
they are typically arranged in a 2-
dimensional grid.
7. Setting the Right
F-Stop for Your
Digital Photo
• Use an almost-
wide-open f-stop to
boost sharpness.
• Adjust
your depth of fieldb
y moving f-stops.
• Avoid too-small
f-stops.

The rule of thirds is the

composition. All you do
is take your frame and
overlay a grid of nine
equal sections. This
means you split the
vertical space into
three parts and the
horizontal space into
