Successful businesses bring together the talents of individual employees. Group activities are one way to accomplish this goal, and have fun at the same time. Here are the best exercises for improving teamwork in 5 minutes or less.
While working as interns, we were tasked with the project of collecting different leadership games to be used for a leadership camp of high school students.
Professionalism in art has this difficulty: To be professional is to be dependable, to be dependable is to be predictable, and predictability is esthetically boring - an anti-virtue in a field where we hope to be astonished and startled and at some deep level refreshed.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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

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.

Energizer for students
1. Energizers
Look Up Look Down
The object of this activity is to be the only person left in the circle. Have everyone gather in a circle and look at the ground. When the leader says, "look up", each person should look into another participant’s eyes. If eye contact is made (if the person you are looking at is looking directly at you), both of you must cover one eye. When the leader says "look down", everyone looks down. Continue following directions. When a participant loses sight in both eyes, they must leave the circle.
It's raining, It’s pouring!
The group is going to make rain! Here’s how! The leaders explain that through an ancient series of movements, the gods would recreate the sounds of rain hoping for a plentiful crop and future growth. The group will recreate this activity by doing five simple things in sequence:
Have the group rub their .hands together
Have half the group snap their fingers slowly
Have the other half begin snapping their fingers quickly
Have the group lightly slap their thighs
Finally have them pound their chests
Now, put all of this together!
Name Speed
Everyone stands in a circle. One at a time, each person says their first name. Everyone around the circle participates. The timekeeper times how long it takes the group to say their first name one at a time. The group gets a few tries to bring their time down.
Can it!
Have participants sit in a circle with their feet extended. Place a #10 can on the foot of one of the participants. The object is to move the can around the circle without touching the can with your hands or having it fall. The can must be on at least one foot of each participant. Timing and balance are key!
Line ups
You can use this general idea with many options. The idea is for the group to line up in a particular order without speaking. Speed and safety are key! Try any of these:
Birthday line-up
Timeline line up (by who has been here longest, to shortest length of time.)
Number of siblings
Who lives nearest and farthest from this point
Be sure to move any obstacles and watch that participants are safe!
Variation: if you are outdoors, have the participants blindfolded.
2. Hoola Hoop Pass
Have the group form a circle holding each other’s hand. Rest a hoola hoop on the shoulders of one person in the circle, but again, have them take the hand of the person next to them. The idea is to pass the hoola hoop around the circle without breaking the circle until it gets to the original point. Participants will have to maneuver the hoop by stepping through or raising their arms, while keeping the circle intact. Speed is the key! Now, having done that, try sending two hoops around the circle, in opposite directions!
Knot Us!!
Have the groups come together in a circle, as closely as possible, extending their arms into the circle. Each person takes the hands of two different people until each person is connected to two other participants. Now the fun begins! Without letting go of any hands, the group needs to untangle the knot so that everyone is facing the same direction in the original circle. Be sure to watch for obstacles in the room!
The following seven Energizers are from Lou Bergholz, The Warren Conference Center and Inn, Training and Consulting Group.
Gotcha
Have the group stand in a tight circle. Everyone opens their left hand, palm up and then places their right index finger above the person to their left and then tries to capture and escape at the same time. This is signaled by a facilitator saying, “go”.
Names (“Repeat!”)
Each participant loudly says their first name. If someone does not say their name loud enough for everyone to hear, then the group can yell “Repeat!”
Pairs Tag
In pairs (link elbows) the group plays tag, each pair playing one on one tag with each other. Each pair must stay linked the entire time.
Variation: One person is “it” and another person is being chased though the other pairs who are standing still. The person who is being chased must link arms with one of the pairs and the person on the other end must let go and find a new pair to link to. If the person being chased gets tagged before finding a new pair to link to, he or she becomes “it” and the person who was “it” becomes the person being chased.
Groove Tag
Same as Pairs Tag, but your movement to chase your partner must have a “groove” to it.
ESP (giants, wizards, elves)
Teach the group three distinct gestures. Standing back to back with a partner, the pairs try to guess what gesture the other person is going to do when they turn around. No talking, only using ESP!
Rubber bands
Stretch a rubber band over your head so it is resting above your upper lip and below your ears. Without using your hands, try to lower the rubber band down to your chin or neck.
3. Secret Agent/Guardian Angel
Each person selects a Secret Agent and Guardian Angel from the group. When the facilitator says “go”, each person must attempt to keep the Guardian Angel physically between himself/herself and his/her Secret Agent. No running.
Make a Machine
Select a machine, the more unusual, the better! As a group, you must replicate the machine, involving each person in the process. If the group is large, divide the group into teams of 6-8 and have them act out the machine, while the other groups guess! Be creative!!
Possible machines
• Fax machine
• Telephone
• Bottle top making machine
• Typewriter
• Donut hole maker
• Computer
• Car assembly line
• Nintendo Game
