This document discusses Game Sense, a philosophy for teaching physical education that focuses on fun, playing, thinking, communicating, inclusion, challenge, and being player-centered. Game Sense involves modifying games, equipment, player numbers and rules to allow students to focus on skills while maintaining the tactical elements of sports. It emphasizes student autonomy and discovery through minimizing rules and coaching during games. Research shows Game Sense can develop students' tactical awareness, decision making, communication and perception skills.
This describes what a Game Sense approach is and its strengths in adopting it as a teaching strategy for PDHPE. It also provides additional references should you require further information.

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 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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

Game sense
1. Game Sense
Mrs Perez’s PDHPE Teaching Philosophy
In our classroom, we value
• Fun
• Playing
• Thinking
• Communicating
• Inclusion
• Challenge
• Player-centred
(Australian Government. Australian Sports
Commission, 2017)
2. What Is Game Sense?
Game sense is a philosophy for teaching and learning Physical Education. It is
supported by constructivist learning principles which identifies that learners
absorb knowledge through the process of engaging in meaningful experiences
(O’Leary, 2016).
Research recognizes that Game Sense has value in its attempt to “…develop
students’ tactical awareness, decision making [skills, communication skills and
perception] within modified games,” (O’Leary, 2016).
Game Sense is applied when we modify playing areas, equipment, the numbers
of players and the rules of games, whilst maintain specific tactical intricacies of
the adult game so that students have the opportunity to focus of particular
skills (O’Leary, 2016).
3. Game Sense and Fundamental Movement
Skills
The Board of Studies, NSW (2012) identifies that
Fundamental movement skills are not naturally developed
and should be nurtured through students participation in
various ways, such as through play and games.
4. Game Sense in Action
Below is an example of how Game Sense is applied to Physical Education lessons.
The intent of employing this game is to encourage students to develop the
fundamental movements of sprinting, dodging and leaping; by playing an invasion
game that will promote abilities for their participation in sports such as rugby, Oz
tag, AFL.
(Teakel, 2011)
5. Strengths of Game Sense as a Teaching
Approach
The concept of Game Sense had really struck a cord with me when I was reading
Gary Townsend’s (2007) excerpt about Game Sense. He highlighted students
enjoyable engagement in physical activity and ‘un-organised’ sport everyday in
the playground. He also identified that students were pleasurably discovering
“…complex skills of evasion, team work, rules, spacial awareness [and] tactics,”
(Townsend, 2007., p. 1)on their own with no adult management. Here lies, what I
believe to be the key strength of Game Sense; guiding but not controlling
students in their participation of physical activity. Children are empowered
when they are given opportunities to practice their autonomy. I believe this is an
important facet of Game Sense, because when games are modified to reduce
rules, teachers do not have to over-coach and manage students. This allows for
students to develop their independent learning abilities whilst simultaneously
focusing on particular FMS’s.
6. Game Sense and Board of Studies NSW K-6 PDHPE
Syllabus (2012)
As mentioned above, Game Sense allows students to act autonomously during Physical
Education lessons. This in turn encourages positive attitudes of students toward learning,
and physical activity; and thus positive attitudes of themselves and others. This is very
relevant for the fact that teachers are mandated to ensure that the values of student
participation, belonging and physical health and safety are upheld (Board of Studies, NSW.,
K-6 PDHPE Syllabus, 2012).

Game Sense:
